Abstract

We study RCD\mathsf{RCD}-spaces (X,d,m)(X,d,\mathfrak{m}) with group actions by isometries preserving the reference measure m\mathfrak{m} and whose orbit space has dimension one, i.e. cohomogeneity one actions. To this end we prove a Slice Theorem asserting that when XX is non-collapsed the slices are homeomorphic to metric cones over homogeneous spaces with Ric0\mathrm{Ric} \geq 0. As a consequence we obtain complete topological structural results (also in the collapsed case) and a regular orbit representation theorem. Conversely, we show how to construct new RCD\mathsf{RCD}-spaces from a cohomogeneity one group diagram, giving a complete description of RCD\mathsf{RCD}-spaces of cohomogeneity one. As an application of these results we obtain the classification of cohomogeneity one, non-collapsed RCD\mathsf{RCD}-spaces of essential dimension at most 44.
