Abstract
We show that if is an RCD(K,N) space and is a solution of the minimal surface equation, then is harmonic on its graph (which has a natural metric measure space structure). If K=0 this allows to obtain an Harnack inequality for , which in turn implies the Bernstein property, meaning that any positive solution to the minimal surface equation must be constant. As an application, we obtain oscillation estimates and a Bernstein Theorem for minimal graphs in products , where is a smooth manifold (possibly weighted and with boundary) with non-negative Ricci curvature
