Given a compact doubling metric measure space $X$ that supports a $2$-Poincar\'e inequality, we construct a Dirichlet form on $N^{1,2}(X)$ that is comparable to the upper gradient energy form on $N^{1,2}(X)$. Our approach is based on the…

In this paper we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for metric measure spaces (X,d,m) which is stable under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and rules out Finsler geometries. It can be given in terms of…

Let $M$ be a complete, non-compact, connected Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below by a negative constant. A sufficient condition is obtained for open and connected sets $D$ in $M$ for which the corresponding…

We study pairs of Dirichlet forms related by an intertwining order isomorphisms between the associated $L^2$-spaces. We consider the measurable, the topological and the geometric setting respectively. In the measurable setting, we deal with…

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…

We construct a canonical differential structure on the configuration space $\Upsilon$ over a singular base space $X$ and with a general invariant measure $\mu$ on $\Upsilon$. We present an analytic structure on $\Upsilon$, constructing a…

This paper is concerned with a class of singular stable-like Dirichlet forms on $\R^d$, which are generated by $d$ independent copies of a one-dimensional symmetric $\alpha$-stable process, and whose L\'evy jump kernel measure is…

We give sufficient conditions for a measured length space (X,d,m) to admit local and global Poincare inequalities. We first introduce a condition DM on (X,d,m), defined in terms of transport of measures. We show that DM, along with a…

We give a twistorial interpretation of geometric structures on a Riemannian manifold, as sections of homogeneous fibre bundles, following an original insight by Wood (2003). The natural Dirichlet energy induces an abstract harmonicity…

We estimate the heat kernel on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$, with $dim(M)\geq 3$, evolving under the Ricci-harmonic map flow and the result depends on some constants arising from a Sobolev imbedding theorem. In a special case, when the…
