Given a metric measure space $(X,d,\mathfrak{m})$ that satisfies the Riemannian Curvature Dimension condition, $RCD^*(K,N),$ and a compact subgroup of isometries $G \leq Iso(X)$ we prove that there exists a $G-$invariant measure,…

The curvature dimension condition CD(K,N), pioneered by Sturm and Lott--Villani, is a synthetic notion of having curvature bounded below and dimension bounded above, in the non-smooth setting. This condition implies a suitable…

The problem of defining correctly geometric objects such as the curvature is a hard one in discrete geometry. In 2009, Ollivier defined a notion of curvature applicable to a wide category of measured metric spaces, in particular to graphs.…
