Gamma-convergence

Direct methods in the calculus of variations:

  • semicontinuity and convexity,
  • coerciveness and reflexivity,
  • relaxation and minimizing sequences,
  • properties of integral functionals.

Gamma-convergence:

Spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below

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:
