Metric measure spaces with a lower bound on the Ricci curvature

Chiara Rigoni (University of Bonn)

Metric measure spaces play an important role in many fields of mathematics. In particular, they provide a natural generalization of manifolds admitting all kinds of singularities and still providing rich geometric structures.
This talk presents a way to introduce a generalized notion of lower Ricci curvature bounds in this class of spaces, following an approach proposed by Lott-Villani and Sturm and based on optimal transport. We will also explore some of the analytic and geometric properties that this condition implies on the metric measure structure.
