The curvature dimension condition CD(K,N), pioneered by Sturm and Lott--Villani, is a synthetic notion of having curvature bounded below and dimension bounded above, in the non-smooth setting. This condition implies a suitable…
We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a doubling metric space to carry a (1,p)-Poincare inequality. The condition involves discretizations of the metric space and Poincare inequalities on graphs.

We extend the range of $N$ to negative values in the $(K,N)$-convexity (in the sense of Erbar--Kuwada--Sturm), the weighted Ricci curvature $Ric_N$ and the curvature-dimension condition $CD(K,N)$. We generalize a number of results in the…
