L Ambrosio, N Gigli, G Savaré - 2014 - projecteuclid.org
In this paper, we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for
metric measure spaces (X, d, m) which is stable under measured Gromov–Hausdorff …

Calculus and heat flow in metric measure spaces and applications to spaces with Ricci bounds from below

L Ambrosio, N Gigli, G Savaré - Inventiones mathematicae, 2014 - Springer

Gradient flows of the entropy for finite Markov chains

J Maas - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2011 - Elsevier
Let K be an irreducible and reversible Markov kernel on a finite set X. We construct a metric
W on the set of probability measures on X and show that with respect to this metric, the law …

Bakry–Émery curvature-dimension condition and Riemannian Ricci curvature bounds

L Ambrosio, N Gigli, G Savaré - 2015 - projecteuclid.org
The aim of the present paper is to bridge the gap between the Bakry–Émery and the Lott–
Sturm–Villani approaches to provide synthetic and abstract notions of lower Ricci curvature …

Ricci curvature of finite Markov chains via convexity of the entropy

M Erbar, J Maas - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2012 - Springer
We study a new notion of Ricci curvature that applies to Markov chains on discrete spaces.
This notion relies on geodesic convexity of the entropy and is analogous to the one …

Finsler interpolation inequalities

Abstract We extend Cordero-Erausquin et al.'s Riemannian Borell–Brascamp–Lieb
inequality to Finsler manifolds. Among applications, we establish the equivalence between …
