This study details how synthetic lower Ricci bounds transform under time changes for both local Dirichlet forms and metric measure spaces. It provides precise formulas for the Bakry-Émery and Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension conditions.
Area of Science:
- Differential Geometry
- Analysis on Metric Spaces
- Probability Theory
Background:
- Ricci bounds are fundamental in geometry and analysis.
- Curvature-dimension conditions provide a way to define lower bounds on Ricci curvature.
- Time change is a transformation that alters the dynamics of a space.
Purpose of the Study:
- To derive precise transformation formulas for synthetic lower Ricci bounds under time change.
- To investigate the behavior of curvature-dimension conditions under time change for local Dirichlet forms.
- To analyze the transformation of curvature-dimension conditions in metric measure spaces under time change.
Main Methods:
