We prove that for non-branching metric measure spaces the local curvature condition CDloc(K,N) implies the global version of MCP(K,N). The curvature condition CD(K,N) introduced by the second author and also studied by Lott & Villani is the…
In this paper, we investigate classifications of $4$-dimensional simply connected complete noncompact nonflat shrinkers satisfying $Ric+\mathrm{Hess}\,f=\tfrac 12g$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature. One one hand, we show that if the…
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…
We study a metric version of the simplicial volume on Riemannian manifolds, the Lipschitz simplicial volume, with applications to degree theorems in mind. We establish a proportionality principle and a product inequality from which we…

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…
The localization technique from convex geometry is generalized to the setting of Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below. In a nutshell, our method is based on the following observation: When the Ricci curvature is…
In this note we prove the Heintze-Karcher inequality in the context of essentially non-branching metric measure spaces satisfying a lower Ricci curvature bound in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani. The proof is based on the the needle…
Compositional data, representing proportions constrained to the simplex, arise in diverse fields such as geosciences, ecology, genomics, and microbiome research. Existing nonparametric density estimation methods often rely on…
In this paper, we develop a non-asymptotic local normal approximation for multinomial probabilities. First, we use it to find non-asymptotic total variation bounds between the measures induced by uniformly jittered multinomials and the…
This is a survey about the contruction of warped products between (semi-)Riemannian manifolds and metric (measure) spaces. The resulting spaces will be semi-Riemannian manifolds, metric (measure) spaces or Lorentzian metric and metric…
In this work, we establish a local smoothing result on metrics with small curvature concentration with respect to Sobolev constants and volume growth. In contrast with all previous works, we remove the Ricci curvature condition and…
We find the precise growth of some invariant metrics near a point on the boundary of a domain where the Levi form has at least one negative eigenvalue. We also introduce a new invariant pseudometric which is convenient in this context, and…
Under the assumption of the uniform local Sobolev inequality, it is proved that Riemannian metrics with an absolute Ricci curvature bound and a small Riemannian curvature integral bound can be smoothed to having a sectional curvature bound.…

An equivalent definition of entropic Ricci curvature on discrete spaces was given in terms of the global gradient estimate. With a particular choice of the density function $\rho$, we obtain a localized gradient estimate, which in turns…
