Abstract:
In this talk we discuss some generalization of comparison theorems involving Bakry Émery curvature in sub-Riemannian geometry. In particular we will focus on comparison theorems for distortion coefficients appearing in geometric interpolation inequalities, such as the Brunn-Minkovski inequality. The model spaces for comparison are variational problems coming from optimal control theory.
