We establish a Harnack inequality for a class of quasi-linear PDE modeled on the prototype {equation*} \partial_tu= -\sum_{i=1}^{m}X_i^\ast (|\X u|^{p-2} X_i u){equation*} where $p\ge 2$, $ \ \X = (X_1,..., X_m)$ is a system of Lipschitz…

For $1<p<\infty$, we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the Riesz transform operators on metric measure spaces with Riemannian Ricci curvature bounded from below, without any restriction on their dimension. This large class of spaces include…

For metric measure spaces verifying the reduced curvature-dimension condition $CD^*(K,N)$ we prove a series of sharp functional inequalities under the additional assumption of essentially non-branching. Examples of spaces entering this…

Measure contraction properties $MCP(K,N)$ are synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds for metric measure spaces which do not necessarily have smooth structures. It is known that if a Riemannian manifold has dimension $N$, then $MCP(K,N)$ is…

In this expository paper, we discuss a unified framework for proving various geometric inequalities, based on the so-called Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci technique. Examples include Cabr\'e's proof of the classical isoperimetric inequality in…

We review some regularity results for the Laplacian and $p$-Laplacian in metric measure spaces. The focus is mainly on interior H\"older, Lipschitz and second-regularity estimates and on spaces supporting a Poincar\'e inequality or having…

We establish the Krylov--Safonov theory for a large class of nonlocal operators of order $2s \in (0,2)$ on hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}^{n}_{\kappa}$ with curvature $-\kappa<0$. We prove the Alexandrov--Bakelman--Pucci (ABP) estimates,…

Consider an essentially nonbranching metric measure space with the measure contraction property of Ohta and Sturm, or with a Ricci curvature lower bound in the sense of Lott, Sturm and Villani. We prove a sharp upper bound on the inscribed…

In this note we extend a recent result of S. Brendle [3] to Riemannian manifolds with densities and nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature.

We prove comparison theorems for the sub-Riemannian distortion coefficients appearing in interpolation inequalities. These results, which are equivalent to a sub-Laplacian comparison theorem for the sub-Riemannian distance, are obtained by…

We define a hybrid between Ollvier and Bakry Emery curvature on graphs with dependence on a variable neighborhood. The hexagonal lattice is non-negatively curved under this new curvature notion. Bonnet-Myers diameter bounds and Lichnerowicz…

The goal of this paper is twofold: we study metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$ with variable lower bounds for the Ricci curvature and we study pathwise coupling of Brownian motions. Given any lower semicontinuous function $k:X\to \mathbb R$ we…

We prove that synthetic lower Ricci bounds for metric measure spaces -- both in the sense of Bakry-\'Emery and in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani -- can be characterized by various functional inequalities including local Poincar\'e…

Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta have introduced the notion of a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound with $\varepsilon$-range, and derived several comparison geometric estimates from a Laplacian comparison theorem for weighted Laplacian. The aim of…

In this short survey, we derive some weyl-type universal inequalities of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature. We also give upper bounds for the $L_{\infty}$ norm of eigenfunctions of…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ supported on a convex subset $\Omega$ of Euclidean space $(\mathbb{R}^d,g_0)$, we are interested in obtaining Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev type inequalities on $(\Omega,g_0,\mu)$. To this end, we change the…

The aim of the present paper is to bridge the gap between the Bakry-\'{E}mery and the Lott-Sturm-Villani approaches to provide synthetic and abstract notions of lower Ricci curvature bounds. We start from a strongly local Dirichlet form…

In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the first eigenvalue to some kinds of the eigenvalue problems for Bi-drifted Laplacian operator on compact manifolds (also called a smooth metric measure space) with boundary and $m$-Bakry-Emery…

In the present paper, we prove that a lower bound on the $1$-weighted Ricci curvature is equivalent to a convexity of entropies on the Wasserstein space. Based on such characterization, we provide some interpolation inequalities such as the…
