Abstract
Given any continuous, lower bounded and -convex function on a metric measure space which is infinitesimally Hilbertian and satisfies some synthetic lower bound for the Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani, we prove existence and uniqueness for the (downward) gradient flow for . Moreover, we prove Lipschitz continuity of the flow w.r.t. the starting point
