Title: Some smooth applications of non-smooth Ricci curvature lower bounds


Abstract: After a brief introduction to the synthetic notions of Ricci 
curvature lower bounds in terms of optimal transportation, due to 
Lott-Sturm-Villani, I will discuss some applications to smooth 
Riemannian manifolds (joint work with Fabio Cavalletti, SISSA).

These include: rigidity/stability of the Levy-Gromov inequality and an 
almost euclidean isoperimetric inequality motivated by the celebrated 
Perelman’s Pseudo-Locality Theorem for Ricci flow.
