Almost-Riemannian manifolds do not satisfy the $\mathsf{CD}$ condition
Abstract
The Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension condition provides a synthetic notion for a metric-measure space to have curvature bounded from below by and dimension bounded from above by . It was proved by Juillet that a large class of \sr manifolds do not satisfy the condition, for any and . However, his result does not cover the case of almost-Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we address the problem of disproving the condition in this setting, providing a new strategy which allows us to contradict the -dimensional version of the condition. In particular, we prove that -dimensional almost-Riemannian manifolds and strongly regular almost-Riemannian manifolds do not satisfy the condition for any and .
