In this paper we prove mean curvature comparisons and volume comparisons on a smooth metric measure space when the integral radial Bakry-\'Emery Ricci tensor and the potential function or its gradient are bounded. As applications, we prove…

We derive some integral inequalities for holomorphic maps between complex manifolds. As applications, some rigidity and degeneracy theorems for holomorphic maps without assuming any pointwise curvature signs for both the domain and target…

It is known that by dualizing the Bochner-Lichnerowicz-Weitzenb\"{o}ck formula, one obtains Poincar\'e-type inequalities on Riemannian manifolds equipped with a density, which satisfy the Bakry-\'Emery Curvature-Dimension condition…

We consider a condition on the Ricci curvature involving vector fields, which is broader than the Bakry-\'Emery Ricci condition. Under this condition volume comparison, Laplacian comparison, isoperimetric inequality and gradient bounds are…

Locally homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds with recurrect curvature are special examples of Walker manifolds, that is, they admit a parallel null vector field. We obtain a full classification of the symmetries of these spaces, with…

We describe the exponential map from an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra to an infinite-dimensional group of operators on a Hilbert space. Notions of differential geometry are introduced for these groups. In particular, the Ricci curvature,…

We establish a uniform entropy bound for simply connected Ricci shrinkers with a finite second homotopy group and a uniform curvature bound. Additionally, we extend the non-collapsing result to a broader class of smooth metric measure…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n$. Both $\lambda_1 + \lambda_n$ and the odd girth of $G$ can be seen as measures of the bipartiteness of $G$. Csikv\'ari proved in 2022 that for odd girth 5…

In this article, we introduce a $2$-parameter family of affine connections and derive the Ricci curvature. We first establish an integral Bochner technique. On one hand, this technique yields a new proof to our recent work in \cite{LX} for…

We study some equivalent properties of the curvature-dimension conditions $CD(n,K)$ inequality on infinite, but locally finite graph. These equivalences are gradient estimate, Poincar\'e type inequalities and reverse Poincar\'e…

Following up on the recent work on lower Ricci curvature bounds for quantum systems, we introduce two noncommutative versions of curvature-dimension bounds for symmetric quantum Markov semigroups over matrix algebras. Under suitable such…

We show that the configuration space over a manifold M inherits many curvature properties of the manifold. For instance, we show that a lower Ricci curvature bound on M implies for the configuration space a lower Ricci curvature bound in…

The aim of the present paper is to bridge the gap between the Bakry-\'{E}mery and the Lott-Sturm-Villani approaches to provide synthetic and abstract notions of lower Ricci curvature bounds. We start from a strongly local Dirichlet form…

We provide new type of decay estimate for scalar curvatures of steady gradient Ricci solitons. We also give certain upper bound for the diameter of a Riemannian manifold whose $\infty$-Bakry--Emery Ricci tensor is bounded by some positive…

In this sequence of two papers, we introduce a curvature flow on (mixed) weighted graphs which is based on the Bakry-\'Emery calculus. The flow is described via a time-continuous evolution through the weighting schemes. By adapting this…

In this paper we present the Ricci curvature on cell-complexes and show the Gauss-Bonnnet type theorem on graphs and 2-complex that decomposes closed surface. The defferential forms on a cell complex is defined as linear maps on chain…

We define the orthogonal Bakry-\'Emery tensor as a generalization of the orthogonal Ricci curvature, and then study diameter theorems on K\"ahler and quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds under positivity assumption on the orthogonal…

We discuss in which sense general metric measure spaces possess a first order differential structure. Building on this, we then see that on spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below a second order calculus can be developed, permitting…

We study metric contraction properties for metric spaces associated with left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics on Carnot groups. We show that ideal sub-Riemannian structures on Carnot groups satisfy such properties and give a lower bound of…

In this note we discuss the fundamental groups and diameters of positively Ricci curved $n$-manifolds. We use a method combining the results about equivarient Hausdorff convergence developed by Fukaya and Yamaguchi with the Ricci version of…
