Ricci curvature of metric spaces
We define a notion of Ricci curvature in metric spaces equipped with a measure or a random walk. For this we use a local contraction coefficient of the random walk acting on the space of probability measures equipped with a transportation distance. This notions allows to generalize several classical theorems associated with positive Ricci curvature, such as a spectral gap bound (Lichnerowicz th...
متن کاملRicci Tensor of Diagonal Metric
Efficient formulae of Ricci tensor for an arbitrary diagonal metric are presented.
متن کاملMetric Ricci curvature for $PL$ manifolds
We introduce a metric notion of Ricci curvature for PL manifolds and study its convergence properties. We also prove a fitting version of the Bonnet-Myers Theorem, for surfaces as well as for a large class of higher dimensional manifolds.
متن کاملWeyl collineations that are not curvature collineations
Though the Weyl tensor is a linear combination of the curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar, it does not have all and only the Lie symmetries of these tensors since it is possible, in principle, that “asymmetries cancel”. Here we investigate if, when and how the symmetries can be different. It is found that we can obtain a metric with a finite dimensional Lie algebra of Weyl symmetrie...
متن کاملOptimal Transportation and Ricci Curvature for Metric Measure Spaces
Moreover, we introduce a curvature-dimension condition CD(K, N) being more restrictive than the curvature bound Curv(M,d, m) ≥ K. For Riemannian manifolds, CD(K, N) is equivalent to RicM (ξ, ξ) ≥ K · |ξ|2 and dim(M) ≤ N . Condition CD(K,N) implies sharp version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, of the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem and of the Bonnet-Myers theorem. Moreover, it allows ...
