The Hardy-Littlewood-P?olya majorization theorem is extended to the framework of some spaces with a curved geometry (such as the global NPC spaces and the Wasserstein spaces). We also discuss the connection between our concept of…

This paper clarifies some aspects of Lorentzian topology change, and it extends to a wider class of spacetimes previous results of Geroch and Tipler that show that topology change is only to be had at a price. The scenarios studied here are…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem of translating mean curvature equations over domains in Riemannian manifolds with dimension $n$. Imitating the generalized solution theory of Miranda-Giusti, we define a new conformal area…

Curvature serves as a potent and descriptive invariant, with its efficacy validated both theoretically and practically within graph theory. We employ a definition of generalized Ricci curvature proposed by Ollivier, which Lin and Yau later…

In this paper, we establish a "global" Morse index theorem. Given a hypersurface $M^{n}$ of constant mean curvature, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Consider a continuous deformation of "generalized" Lipschitz domain $D(t)$ enlarging in…

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…

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 investigate the stability of the Wasserstein distance, a metric structure on the space of probability measures arising from the theory of optimal transport, under metric ultralimits. We first show that if $(X_{i},d_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$…

We elaborate the notion of a Ricci curvature lower bound for parametrized statistical models. Following the seminal ideas of Lott-Strum-Villani, we define this notion based on the geodesic convexity of the Kullback-Leibler divergence in a…

Nonnegative measures that are solutions to a transport equation with continuous coefficients have been widely studied. Because of the low regularity of the associated vector field, there is no natural flow since nonuniqueness of integral…

We prove that a Ricci curvature based method of triangulation of compact Riemannian manifolds, due to Grove and Petersen, extends to the context of weighted Riemannian manifolds and more general metric measure spaces. In both cases the role…
