Unique continuation results are proved for metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature in the setting of bounded metrics on compact manifolds with boundary, and in the setting of complete, conformally compact metrics. Related to this issue, an…

We prove that, given an $RCD^{*}(K,N)$-space $(X,d,m)$, then it is possible to $m$-essentially cover $X$ by measurable subsets $(R_{i})_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ with the following property: for each $i$ there exists $k_{i} \in \mathbb{N}\cap…

Let $(X,d,m)$ be a proper, non-branching, metric measure space. We show existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps for cost written as non-decreasing and strictly convex functions of the distance, provided $(X,d,m)$ satisfies a new…

In this paper we investigate two important properties of metric measure spaces satisfying the reduced curvature-dimension condition for negative values of the dimension parameter: the existence of a transport map between two suitable…

We present conditions on the Ricci curvature for complete, oriented, minimal submanifolds of Euclidean space, as well as the standard unit sphere, when the Gauss maps are bounded embeddings.

In this note we prove that in a metric measure space $(X, d, m)$ verifying the measure contraction property with parameters $K \in \mathbb{R}$ and $1< N< \infty$, any optimal transference plan between two marginal measures is induced by an…

We define a notion of a measured length space X having nonnegative N-Ricci curvature, for N finite, or having infinity-Ricci curvature bounded below by K, for K a real number. The definitions are in terms of the displacement convexity of…

We introduce a more restrictive version of the strict $CD(K,\infty)$ -condition, the so-called very strict $CD(K,\infty)$ -condition, and show the existence of optimal maps in very strict $CD(K,\infty)$ -spaces despite the possible lack of…

Using techniques of optimal transportation and gradient flows in metric spaces, we extend the notion of Riemannian Curvature Dimension condition $RCD(K,\infty)$ introduced (in case the reference measure is finite) by Giuseppe Savare', the…

We prove uniform curvature estimates for homogeneous Ricci flows: For a solution defined on $[0,t]$ the norm of the curvature tensor at time $t$ is bounded by the maximum of $C(n)/t$ and $C(n) ( scal(g(t)) - scal(g(0)) )$. This is used to…

We propose the concepts of vicinal mappings and firmly vicinal mappings in metric spaces. We obtain fixed point and convergence theorems for these mappings in complete geodesic spaces with curvature bounded above by one and apply our…

We describe the local structure of Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature which admit a maximum number, in a well-defined sense, of local warped-product decompositions, and at the same time their Ricci tensor has, at some point, only…

Let (M, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold. Assume that the Ricci curvature of M has quadratic decay and that the volume growth is strictly faster than quadratic. We establish that the Hardy spaces of exact 1-differential forms on M ,…

The purpose of this paper is to show that in a finite dimensional metric space with Alexandrov's curvature bounded below, Monge's transport problem for the quadratic cost admits a unique solution.
