We prove that for non-branching metric measure spaces the local curvature condition CDloc(K,N) implies the global version of MCP(K,N). The curvature condition CD(K,N) introduced by the second author and also studied by Lott & Villani is the…

We study the problem of whether the curvature-dimension condition with negative values of the generalized dimension parameter is stable under a suitable notion of convergence. To this purpose, first of all we introduce an appropriate…

In this article we study stability and compactness w.r.t. measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of smooth metric measure spaces with integral Ricci curvature bounds. More precisely, we prove that a sequence of $n$-dimensional Riemannian…

Let $({M},\textsf{d},\textsf{m})$ be a metric measure space which satisfies the Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension condition $\textsf{CD}(K,n)$ for some $K\geq 0$ and $n\geq 2$, and a lower $n-$density assumption at some point of $M$.…

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…

We study the properties of the $n$-volumic scalar curvature in this note. Lott-Sturm-Villani's curvature-dimension condition ${\rm CD}(\kappa,n)$ was showed to imply Gromov's $n$-volumic scalar curvature $\geq n\kappa$ under an additional…

The Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension condition $\mathsf{CD}(K,N)$ provides a synthetic notion for a metric measure space to have curvature bounded from below by $K$ and dimension bounded from above by $N$. It has been recently proved…

Ketterer and Rajala showed an example of metric measure space, satisfying the measure contraction property $MCP(0,3)$, that has different topological dimensions at different regions of the space. In this article I propose a refinement of…

In this paper, we prove the stability of metric measure spaces satisfying the curvature-dimension condition for negative dimensions under a concentration topology. This result is an analogue of the result by Funano-Shioya with respect to…

The main result of this article states that the (K;N)-cone over some metric measure space satisfies the reduced Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD^*(KN;N+1) if and only if the underlying space satisfies RCD^*(N-1;N). The proof…

The goal of this paper is twofold: we study metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$ with variable lower bounds for the Ricci curvature and we study pathwise coupling of Brownian motions. Given any lower semicontinuous function $k:X\to \mathbb R$ we…

In this note we show that in metric measure spaces satisfying the reduced curvature-dimension condition CD*(K,N) we always have geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measures that satisfy the critical convexity inequality of…

We extend the range of $N$ to negative values in the $(K,N)$-convexity (in the sense of Erbar--Kuwada--Sturm), the weighted Ricci curvature $Ric_N$ and the curvature-dimension condition $CD(K,N)$. We generalize a number of results in the…

Aim of this paper is to provide new characterizations of the curvature dimension condition in the context of metric measure spaces (X,d,m). On the geometric side, our new approach takes into account suitable weighted action functionals…

Aim of this paper is to discuss convergence of pointed metric measure spaces in absence of any compactness condition. We propose various definitions, show that all of them are equivalent and that for doubling spaces these are also…

For metric measure spaces verifying the reduced curvature-dimension condition $CD^*(K,N)$ we prove a series of sharp functional inequalities under the additional assumption of essentially non-branching. Examples of spaces entering this…

In the first part Busemann concavity as non-negative curvature is introduced and a bi-Lipschitz splitting theorem is shown. Furthermore, if the Hausdorff measure of a Busemann concave space is non-trivial then the space is doubling and…

We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…
