Abstract
Let be a separable and complete geodesic space with curvature lower bounded, by , in the sense of Alexandrov. Let be a Borel probability measure on , such that , and that has at least one barycenter . We show that for any geodesically -convex function , for , the inequality holds provided is locally Lipschitz at and either positive or in . Our proof relies on the properties of tangent cones at barycenters and on the existence of gradients for semi-concave functions in spaces with lower bounded curvature.
