Given any continuous, lower bounded and $\kappa$-convex function $V$ on a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ which is infinitesimally Hilbertian and satisfies some synthetic lower bound for the Ricci curvature in the sense of…

We provide an intrinsic formulation of the noncommutative differential geometry developed earlier by Chaichian, Tureanu, R. B. Zhang and the second author. This yields geometric definitions of covariant derivatives of noncommutative metrics…

We study superpositions and direct integrals of quadratic and Dirichlet forms. We show that each quasi-regular Dirichlet space over a probability space admits a unique representation as a direct integral of irreducible Dirichlet spaces,…

We prove that on a large family of metric measure spaces, if the $L^p$-gradient estimate for heat flows holds for some $p>2$, then the $L^1$-gradient estimate also holds. This result extends Savar\'e's result on metric measure spaces, and…

We address some fundamental questions concerning geometric analysis on Riemannian manifolds. It has been asked whether the $L^p$-Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund inequalities extend to a reasonable class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds without the…

We consider (locally) energy finite coordinates associated with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form on a metric measure space. We give coordinate formulas for substitutes of tangent spaces, for gradient and divergence operators and for…

Let (N,g) be a nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant geometric structure (cf. symplectic, complex, hypercomplex or any of their `almost' versions). We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with g to be minimal,…

We provide a definition of integral, along paths in the Sierpinski gasket K, for differential smooth 1-forms associated to the standard Dirichlet form K. We show how this tool can be used to study the potential theory on K. In particular,…

We prove structure theorems for complete manifolds satisfying both the Ricci curvature lower bound and the weighted Poincar\'e inequality. In the process, a sharp decay estimate for the minimal positive Green's function is obtained. This…

We characterize complete RNP-differentiability spaces as those spaces which are rectifiable in terms of doubling metric measure spaces satisfying some local $(1, p)$-Poincar\'e inequalities. This gives a full characterization of spaces…

In this paper we study global distance estimates and uniform local volume estimates in a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main device is the generalized curvature dimension inequality introduced by the first and the third author…

A quantized version of the Sierpinski gasket is proposed, on purely topological grounds, as a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ with a suitable form of self-similarity. Several properties of $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ are studied, in particular…

We establish integral formulas and sharp two-sided bounds for the Ricci curvature, mean curvature and second fundamental form on a Riemannian manifold with boundary. As applications, sharp gradient and Hessian estimates are derived for the…

The momentum space of topological insulators and topological superconductors is equipped with a quantum metric defined from the overlap of neighboring valence band states or quasihole states. We investigate the quantum geometrical…

We consider metrics related to each other by functionals of a scalar field $\varphi(x)$ and it's gradient $\nabla \varphi(x)$, and give transformations of some key geometric quantities associated with such metrics. Our analysis provides…

We show that the configuration space over a manifold M inherits many curvature properties of the manifold. For instance, we show that a lower Ricci curvature bound on M implies for the configuration space a lower Ricci curvature bound in…

In this paper, we consider the following symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms of pure jump type on metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g)=\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $J(dx,dy)$ is a symmetric…

The Euler equation for an inviscid, incompressible fluid in a three-dimensional domain M implies that the vorticity is a frozen-in field. This can be used to construct a symplectic structure on RxM. The normalized vorticity and the…

We give the definition of $L^p$-convergence of tensor fields with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff topology and several fundamental properties of the convergence. We apply this to establish a Bochner-type inequality which keeps the term of…

This article provides a new approach to address Mosco convergence of gradient-type Dirichlet forms, $\mathcal E^N$ on $L^2(E,\mu_N)$ for $N\in\mathbb N$, in the framework of converging Hilbert spaces by K.~Kuwae and T.~Shioya. The basic…
