Coarse Ricci curvature on the space of probability measures

Metric Geometry 2013-01-08 v1 Probability

Abstract

In this paper we study the coarse Ricci curvature on the space of probability measures on a metric space. The infimum of the pp-coarse Ricci curvature on the LpL^p-Wasserstein space coincides with that with respect to the original random walk. Considering a random walk as a map, we investigate the relation between Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and the pp-coarse Ricci curvature. We also study the concentration of measure phenomenon related to the coarse Ricci curvature.
