Lecturer: 
Course Type: 
PhD Course
Academic Year: 
2014-2015
Period: 
December-April
Duration: 
60 h
Description: 

Aim of the course is to be an introduction to the study of `metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below'. Preliminaries are measure theory and some knowledge of Riemannian geometry. Then I will discuss:

- the basics of optimal transport theory
- The concept of convergence of metric-measure structures 
- Lott-Sturm-Villani approach to lower Ricci curvature bounds 
- A variant of the Lott-Sturm-Villani approach
- Sobolev functions on mm spaces
- Differential structure of mm spaces
- Some geometric properties of these spaces
