As intermediate step, we prove the local logarithmic Sobolev inequality (known to be equivalent to a lower bound on the Ricci curvature tensor in smooth Riemannian manifolds). Both results are new also in the more regular framework of $RCD(K,\\infty)$ spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-16T17:45:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heat kernel estimates", "harnack inequality", "applications", "infinitesimally hilbertian metric measure space", "sharp upper gaussian estimate" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
