The purpose of this report is to acknowledge the influence of M. Gromov's vision of geometry on our own works. It is two-fold: in the first part we aim at describing some results, in dimension 3, around the question: which open 3-manifolds…
Substatic Riemannian manifolds with minimal boundary arise naturally in General Relativity as spatial slices of static spacetimes satisfying the Null Energy Condition. Moreover, they constitute a vast generalization of nonnegative Ricci…
Comparison theorems are foundational to our understanding of the geometric features implied by various curvature constraints. This paper considers manifolds with a positive lower bound on either scalar, 2-Ricci, or Ricci curvature, and…
This work is devoted to the geometric analysis of metric-measure spaces satisfying a Prekopa-Leindler or a more general Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Completing the early investigations by Cordero-Erausquin, McCann and Schmuckenschlager,…
When the Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold is not lower bounded by a constant, but lower bounded by a continuous function, we give a new characterization of this lower bound through the convexity of relative entropy on the…
For $n$-dimensional weighted Riemannian manifolds, lower $m$-Bakry-\'{E}mery-Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range, introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta, integrate constant lower bounds and certain variable lower bounds in terms of…
We will study metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$ beyond the scope of spaces with synthetic lower Ricci bounds. In particular, we introduce distribution-valued lower Ricci bounds BE$_1(\kappa,\infty)$ $\bullet$ for which we prove the…
We study comparison geometry of manifolds with boundary under a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound for $N\in ]-\infty,1]\cup [n,+\infty]$ with $\varepsilon$-range introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta. We will conclude splitting theorems,…
We prove that if $(X,\mathsf d,\mathfrak m)$ is an essentially non-branching metric measure space with $\mathfrak m(X)=1$, having Ricci curvature bounded from below by $K$ and dimension bounded from above by $N \in (1,\infty)$, understood…
By using optimal transport theory, we prove a sharp dimension-free isoperimetric inequality involving the volume entropy, in metric measure spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott--Sturm--Villani. We show that this…
In this paper we consider noncompact smooth metric measure spaces $(M, g,e^{-f}dvol_{g})$ of nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature, i.e. $Ric + D^{2}f - \frac{1}{N}df \otimes df \geq 0$, for $0< N \leq \infty$, in order to obtain…
The aim of this work is to study comparability of nonlocal Dirichlet forms. We provide sufficient conditions on the kernel for local and global comparability. As an application we prove a-priori estimates in H\"{o}lder spaces for solutions…
In the present article, we provide a characterization of a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound for $N \in ]-\infty,1]\cup[n,+\infty]$ with $\varepsilon$-range introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta in terms of a convexity of entropies over…
In the framework of (possibly non-smooth) metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant in a synthetic sense, we establish a sharp and rigid reverse-H\"older inequality for first eigenfunctions of the…
We develop geometric analysis on weighted Riemannian manifolds under lower $0$-weighted Ricci curvature bounds. Under such curvature bounds, we prove a first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue estimate of Wang-Xia type on compact weighted…
We establish the Bonnet-Myers theorem, Laplacian comparison theorem, and Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem for weighted Finsler manifolds as well as weighted Finsler spacetimes, of weighted Ricci curvature bounded below by using the…
We describe a nonsmooth notion of globally hyperbolic, regular length metric spacetimes $(\mathrm{M},l)$. It is based on ideas of Kunzinger-S\"amann, but does not require Lipschitz continuity of causal curves. We study geodesics on…
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…
In this paper, we prove the local gradient estimate for harmonic functions on complete, noncompact Finsler measure spaces under the condition that the weighted Ricci curvature has a lower bound. As applications, we obtain Liouville type…
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…
