We will study metric measure spaces (X,d,m)(X,d,m) beyond the scope of spaces with synthetic lower Ricci bounds. In particular, we introduce distribution-valued lower Ricci bounds BE1(κ,)_1(κ,\infty) \bullet for which we prove the equivalence with sharp gradient estimates, \bullet the class of which will be preserved under…

It is well known that Expected Shortfall (also called Average Value-at-Risk) is a convex risk measure, i. e. Expected Shortfall of a convex linear combination of arbitrary risk positions is not greater than a convex linear combination with the same weights of Expected Shortfalls of the same risk positions. In this shor…

Given an arbitrary closed set A of Rn\mathbf{R}^{n}, we establish the relation between the eigenvalues of the approximate differential of the spherical image map of A and the principal curvatures of A introduced by Hug-Last-Weil, thus extending a well known relation for sets of positive reach by Federer and Zaehle. The…

Spectral risk measures are attractive risk measures as they allow the user to obtain risk measures that reflect their risk-aversion functions. To date there has been very little guidance on the choice of risk-aversion functions underlying spectral risk measures. This paper addresses this issue by examining two popular …

We present in this work a new family of kernels to compare positive measures on arbitrary spaces $\Xcal$ endowed with a positive kernel κκ, which translates naturally into kernels between histograms or clouds of points.
