Characterization of the null energy condition via displacement convexity of entropy

C Ketterer - Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We characterize the null energy condition for an (n+ 1) (n+1)‐dimensional, time‐oriented
Lorentzian manifold in terms of convexity of the relative (n− 1) (n-1)‐Renyi entropy along …

Intermediate Ricci curvatures and Gromov's Betti number bound

P Reiser, DJ Wraith - The Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2023 - Springer
We consider intermediate Ricci curvatures R ick on a closed Riemannian manifold M n.
These interpolate between the Ricci curvature when k= n-1 and the sectional curvature …

Stratified spaces and synthetic Ricci curvature bounds

J Bertrand, C Ketterer, I Mondello… - Annales de l'Institut …, 2021 - numdam.org
Some of the many good features of the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition is that it
corresponds, in the setting of smooth Riemannian manifolds, to a standard lower Ricci …

Positive intermediate Ricci curvature on fibre bundles

P Reiser, DJ Wraith - … Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and …, 2025 - emis.de
We prove a canonical variation-type result for submersion metrics with positive intermediate
Ricci curvatures. This can then be used in conjunction with surgery techniques to establish …

Optimal transport on null hypersurfaces and the null energy condition
