This paper is devoted to the analysis of metric measure spaces satisfying locally the curvature-dimension condition CD(K,N) introduced by the second author and also studied by Lott & Villani. We prove that the local version of CD(K,N) is…

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 paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality \[ \mu(\lambda A + (1-\lambda)B)^{1/n} \geq \lambda \mu(A)^{1/n} +…

In the first part of the paper, we define an approximated Brunn-Minkowski inequality which generalizes the classical one for length spaces. Our new definition based only on distance properties allows us also to deal with discrete spaces.…

\footnotesize B\"{o}r\"{o}czky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently conjectured a certain strengthening of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for symmetric convex bodies, the so-called log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We establish this inequality…

We prove tight subspace concentration inequalities for the dual curvature measures $\widetilde{\mathrm{C}}_q(K,\cdot)$ of an $n$-dimensional origin-symmetric convex body for $q\geq n+1$. This supplements former results obtained in the range…

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…

Let $\gamma_n$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that for every symmetric convex sets $K,L$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and every $\lambda\in(0,1)$, $$\gamma_n(\lambda K+(1-\lambda)L)^{\frac{1}{n}} \geq \lambda…

The Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for bounded measurable sets $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we have $|A+B|^{1/n} \geq |A|^{1/n}+|B|^{1/n}$. Also, equality holds if and only if $A$ and $B$ are convex and homothetic sets 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…
