This is the lecture notes on the interplay between optimal transport and Riemannian geometry. On a Riemannian manifold, the convexity of entropy along optimal transport in the space of probability measures characterizes lower bounds of the…

We extend the validity of the Penrose singularity theorem to spacetime metrics of regularity $C^{1,1}$. The proof is based on regularisation techniques, combined with recent results in low regularity causality theory.

We prove the optimal $C^{1,1}$ regularity of the volume function on the big cone of a projective manifold, and investigate its regularity when restricted to segments moving in ample directions.

This is the second article of a sequence of research on deformations of Q-curvature. In the previous one, we studied local stability and rigidity phenomena of Q-curvature. In this article, we mainly investigate the volume comparison with…

We establish a $C^{1,\alpha}$ compactness theorem for the metrics with bounded self - dual Weyl tensor and Scalar curvature. The key step is to estimate the $C^{1,\alpha}$ harmonic radius, where we use the blow up analysis as in…

We obtain sharp quantitative Laplacian upper and lower estimates under no assumption on curvatures. As a result, we derive quantitative Laplacian, area and volume comparison theorems for tubes in Riemannian and K\"ahler manifolds under weak…

We extend both the Hawking-Penrose Theorem and its generalisation due to Galloway and Senovilla to Lorentzian metrics of regularity $C^1$. For metrics of such low regularity, two main obstacles have to be addressed. On the one hand, the…

We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the class of metric measure spaces verifying the synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds $MCP(0,N)$ and having Euclidean volume growth at infinity. We avoid the classical use of the…

Metric measure spaces with synthetic Ricci bounds have attracted great interest in recent years, accompanied by spectacular breakthroughs and deep new insights. In this survey, I will provide a brief introduction to the concept of lower…

In this paper, we prove uniform lower bounds on the volume growth of balls in the universal covers of Riemannian surfaces and graphs. More precisely, there exists a constant $\delta>0$ such that if $(M,hyp)$ is a closed hyperbolic surface…

In this article, we investigate critical metrics of the volume functional on complete manifolds without boundary. We prove that any critical metric of the volume functional on a connected, complete manifold with parallel Ricci tensor is…

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold together with a function $e^h$, which weights the Hausdorff measures associated to the Riemannian metric. In this work we assume lower or upper radial bounds on some weighted or…

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 $M$.…

In this paper, we investigate two curvature-free effects from volume growth and ends-counting, respectively. Motivated by generalizing classical results from Ricci curvature to other common curvatures, we establish two main theorems. First,…

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold with dimension greater or equal to $3$ which admits a complete, finite-volume Riemannian metric $g_0$ locally isometric to a rank-1 symmetric space of non-compact type. The volume entropy rigidity theorem…

We present the Tetrahedral Compactness Theorem which states that sequences of Riemannian manifolds with a uniform upper bound on volume and diameter that satisfy a uniform tetrahedral property have a subsequence which converges in the…

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…

We study unimodular measures on the space $\mathcal M^d$ of all pointed Riemannian $d$-manifolds. Examples can be constructed from finite volume manifolds, from measured foliations with Riemannian leaves, and from invariant random subgroups…
