We prove that a Bishop-Gromov inequality gives a lower bound of coarse Ricci curvature. We also have an estimate of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian by a lower bound of coarse Ricci curvature.

A coupling method and an analytic one allow us to prove new lower bounds for the spectral gap of reversible diffusions on compact manifolds. Those bounds are based on the a notion of curvature of the diffusion, like the coarse Ricci…

It is known that a limit $(M^n_j,g_j)\to (X^k,d)$ of manifolds $M_j$ with uniform lower bounds on Ricci curvature must be $k$-rectifiable for some unique $\dim X:= k\leq n = \dim M_j$. It is also known that if $k=n$, then $X^n$ is a…

We show that a complete Ricci flow of bounded curvature which begins from a manifold with a Ricci lower bound, local entropy bound, and small local scale-invariant integral curvature control will have global point-wise curvature control at…
