The article deals with intrinsic metrics, Dirac operators and spectral triples induced by regular Dirichlet and resistance forms. We show, in particular, that if a local resistance form is given and the space is compact in resistance…

We prove long-time existence of the Ricci flow starting from complete manifolds with bounded curvature and scale-invariant integral curvature sufficiently pinched with respect to the inverse of its Sobolev constant. Moreover, if the…

We introduce Riemannian-like structures associated with strong local Dirichlet forms on general state spaces. Such structures justify the principle that the pointwise index of the Dirichlet form represents the effective dimension of the…

By methods of stochastic analysis on Riemannian manifolds, we derive explicit constants $c\_1(D)$ and $c\_2(D)$ for a $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $D$ with boundary such that $c\_1(D)\sqrt{\lambda}\|\phi\|\_\infty \le…

We review recent contributions on nonlinear Dirichlet forms. Then, we specialise to the case of 2-homogeneous and local forms. Inspired by the theory of Finsler manifolds and metric measure spaces, we establish new properties of such…

In this thesis we describe a type of metric space called an Euclidean polyhedral complex. We define a Dirichlet form on it; this is used to give a corresponding heat kernel. We provide a uniform small time Poincare inequality for complexes…

Group lattices (Cayley digraphs) of a discrete group are in natural correspondence with differential calculi on the group. On such a differential calculus geometric structures can be introduced following general recipes of noncommutative…

Using the curvature-dimension inequality proved in Part~I, we look at consequences of this inequality in terms of the interaction between the sub-Riemannian geometry and the heat semigroup $P_t$ corresponding to the sub-Laplacian. We give…

An extension of Riemmann's geometry into a direction dependent geometric structure is usually described by Finsler's geometry. Historically, this construction was motivated by the well-known Riemann's quartic length element example. Quite…

We prove local Poincar\'e inequalities under various curvature-dimension conditions which are stable under the measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. The first class of spaces we consider is that of weak CD(K,N) spaces as defined by Lott…

In this work we study the intrinsic geometry of the space of Kahler metrics under various Riemannian metrics. The first part is on the Dirichlet metric. We motivate its study, we compute its curvature, and we make links with the Calabi…

Let N be a nilpotent Lie group and let S be an invariant geometric structure on N (cf. symplectic, complex or hypercomplex). We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with S to be "minimal", if it minimizes the norm of…

We study the non-linear Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Poincar\'e-Einstein filling problem. For even dimensional manifolds the range of this non-local map is described in terms of a rank two "Dirichlet-to Neumann tensor" along the…

We prove existence of a measurable Riemannian structure on higher-dimensional harmonic Sierpinski gasket fractals and deduce Gaussian heat kernel bounds in the geodesic metric. Our proof differs from that given by Kigami for the usual…

We prove a scale-invariant boundary Harnack principle for inner uni- form domains in metric measure Dirichlet spaces. We assume that the Dirichlet form is symmetric, strongly local, regular, and that the volume doubling property and…

Let $M$ denote a low-dimensional manifold embedded in Euclidean space and let ${X}= \{ x_1, \dots, x_n \}$ be a collection of points uniformly sampled from it. We study the relationship between the curvature of a random geometric graph…

The aim of this paper is to study the heat kernel and jump kernel of the Dirichlet form associated to ultrametric Cantor sets $\partial\BB_\Lambda$ that is the infinite path space of the stationary $k$-Bratteli diagram $\BB_\Lambda$, where…

We investigate some analytic properties of traces of Dirichlet forms with respect to measures satisfying Hardy-type inequality. Among other results we prove convergence of spectra, ordered eigenvalues, eigenfunctions as well as convergence…

In this short note, we provide a quantitative global Poincar\'e inequality for one forms on a closed Riemannian four manifold, in terms of an upper bound on the diameter, a positive lower bound on the volume, and a two-sided bound on Ricci…

In this paper we extend the result obtained in \cite{AKR97} (see also \cite {AKR96}) on the representation of the intrinsic pre- Dirichlet form $\mathcal{E}_{\pi_{\sigma}}^{\Gamma}$ of the Poisson measure $\pi_{\sigma}$ in terms of the…
