An Overview of L1 optimal transportation on metric measure spaces

Abstract

The scope of this note is to make a self-contained survey of the recent developments and achievements of the theory of L1-Optimal Transportation on metric measure spaces. Among the results proved in the recent papers [20, 21] where the author, together with A. Mondino, proved a series of sharp (and in some cases rigid) geometric and functional inequalities in the setting of metric measure spaces enjoying a weak form of Ricci curvature lower bound, we review the proof of the Levy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality.
