We investigate the relationship between measurable differentiable structures on doubling metric measure spaces and derivations. We prove: [1] a decomposition theorem for the module of derivations into free modules; [2] the existence of a measurable differentiable structure assuming that one can control the pointwise up…
In General Relativity the metric can be recovered from the structure of the lightcones and a measure giving the volume element. Since the causal structure seems to be simpler than the Lorentzian manifold structure, this suggests that it is more fundamental. But there are cases when seemingly healthy causal structure an…

Measure contraction property is a synthetic Ricci curvature lower bound for metric measure spaces. We consider Sasakian manifolds with non-negative Tanaka-Webster Ricci curvature equipped with the metric measure space structure defined by the sub-Riemannian metric and the Popp measure. We show that these spaces satisfy…

A fundamental object in a hyperbolic 3-manifold M is its convex core C(M), defined as the smallest closed non-empty convex subset of M. We investigate the way the geometry of the boundary S of C(M) varies as we vary the hyperbolic metric of M. Thurston observed that the intrinsic metric of S is hyperbolic, and that its…
Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) is a powerful tool to compare probability measures whose supports are in different metric spaces. GW suffers however from a computational drawback since it requires to solve a complex non-convex quadratic program. We consider in this work a specific family of cost metrics, namely \textit{tree me…
Solves Calabi-Yau equation on symplectic manifolds using measurable Kahler metrics.
We prove the differentiability of Lipschitz maps X-->V, where X is a complete metric measure space satisfying a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality, and V is a Banach space with the Radon Nikodym Property (RNP). The proof depends on a new characterization of the differentiable structure on such metric measure …
We study several problems concerning conformal transformation on metric measure spaces, including the Sobolev space, the differential structure and the curvature-dimension condition under conformal transformations. This is the first result about preservation of lower curvature bounds under perturbation, which is new ev…

This will be achieved without calling into play any sort of analysis in charts, our assumptions being: the metric sp…
In this paper we consider flat metrics (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. There are two main results. The first is a complete description of when a set of simple closed curves is spectrally rigid, that is, when the length vector determines a metric among the class of flat metrics. Secondly, we gi…

In this article, we study the geodesic problem in a generalized metric space, in which the distance function satisfies a relaxed triangle inequality for some constant , rather than the usual triangle inequality. Such a space is called a quasimetric space. We show that many well-kn…
Measure contraction properties are synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds for metric measure spaces which do not necessarily have smooth structures. It is known that if a Riemannian manifold has dimension , then is equivalent to Ricci curvature bounded below by . On the other hand, it was ob…

In this paper various convergence results are obtained for the correspond…
Synthetic approach to conformal transformations in metric and Lorentzian spaces.
We propose a family of near-metrics based on local graph diffusion to capture similarity for a wide class of data sets. These quasi-metametrics, as their names suggest, dispense with one or two standard axioms of metric spaces, specifically distinguishability and symmetry, so that similarity between data points of arbi…
