6 Completion / Compactification A common practice in various fields of mathematic is to start studying a certain class of smooth or nice objects, and to close it w.r.t. some relevant topology. In general, the study of the limit objects turns out to be useful to understand the properties of the original ones.

13 Aim of the game (1) To understand what it means for a metric measure space to have Ricci curvature bounded from below (2) To prove in the non-smooth setting all the theorems valid for manifolds with Ric K, dim N and their limits (3) To better understand the geometry of smooth manifolds via the study of non-smooth objects

18 Finsler structures are included Cordero-Erausquin, Villani, Sturm proved that (R d,, L d ) is a CD(0, ) space (in fact CD(0, d)) for any norm. Some differences between the Finsler and Riemannian worlds: Analysis: Tangent / cotangent spaces can t be identified No natural Dirichlet form Geometry: no Abresch-Gromoll inequality no Splitting theorem
19 Some observations For a given Finsler manifold the following are equivalent: The manifold is Riemannian The Sobolev space W 1,2 is Hilbert The heat flow is linear The heat flow can be seen as: Gradient flow of the Dirichlet energy w.r.t. L 2 Gradient flow of the relative entropy w.r.t. W2
