We present a new relation between the short time behavior of the heat flow, the geometry of optimal transport and the Ricci flow. We also show how this relation can be used to define an evolution of metrics on non–smooth metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below.

Abstract
We present a new relation between the short time behavior of the heat flow, the geometry of optimal transport and the Ricci flow. We also show how this relation can be used to define an evolution of metrics on non–smooth metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below.File in questo prodotto:
