Bakry-Émery curvature-dimension condition and Riemannian Ricci curvature bounds
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 bounds. We start from a strongly local Dirichlet form E admitting a Carré du champ Γ in a Polish measure space (X,m) and a canonical distance dE that induces the original topology of X. We first characterize the distin...
متن کاملMetrics with Non-negative Ricci Curvature on Convex Three-manifolds
We prove that the space of smooth Riemannian metrics on the three-ball with non-negative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary is path-connected; and, moreover, that the associated moduli space (i.e., modulo orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the threeball) is contractible. As an application, using results of Maximo, Nunes, and Smith [MNS], we show the existence of properly embedd...
متن کاملComparing Three Notions of Discrete Ricci Curvature on Biological Networks
In the present work, we study the properties of biological networks by applying analogous notions of fundamental concepts in Riemannian geometry and optimal mass transport to discrete networks described by weighted graphs. Specifically, we employ possible generalizations of the notion of Ricci curvature on Riemannian manifold to discrete spaces in order to infer certain robustness properties of...
متن کاملVolume Geodesic Distortion and Ricci Curvature for Hamiltonian Dynamics
We study the variation of a smooth volume form along extremals of a variational problem with nonholonomic constraints and an action-like Lagrangian. We introduce a new invariant describing the interaction of the volume with the dynamics and we study its basic properties. We then show how this invariant, together with curvature-like invariants of the dynamics introduced in [4], appear in the exp...
