Scientific Overview
The last few decades have seen the trend to extend the scope of classical analytic
and geometric theories from the familiar Euclidean space or manifold setting to more
general metric spaces, often of a non-smooth or fractal nature. Recently there has
been spectacular progress on the development of a theory of general metric spaces
resembling manifolds with Ricci curvature bounds by the work of Lott, Villani and
Sturm. Their approach is based on convexity properties of an entropy functional in
optimal transport. Other approaches include the use of Bochner type formulas by
Baudoin and Garofalo and the use of heat kernels by Koskela, Rajala and Shanmugalingam
and by Ambrosio, Gigli and Savare. However, many of the underlying analytic and
geometric questions are still poorly understood. This workshop will further explore
these approaches and related challenging issues, and foster new collaborations among
various groups of researchers.
