Duality on gradient estimates and Wasserstein controls

K Kuwada - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2010 - Elsevier
We establish a duality between Lp-Wasserstein control and Lq-gradient estimate in a
general framework. Our result extends a known result for a heat flow on a Riemannian …

A visual introduction to Riemannian curvatures and some discrete generalizations

Y Ollivier - Analysis and Geometry of Metric Measure Spaces …, 2011 - books.google.com
We try to provide a visual introduction to some objects used in Riemannian geometry:
parallel transport, sectional curvature, Ricci curvature, Bianchi identities... We then explain …

Heat flow on time‐dependent metric measure spaces and super‐Ricci flows

E Kopfer, KT Sturm - Communications on Pure and Applied …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We study the heat equation on time‐dependent metric measure spaces (as well as the dual
and the adjoint heat equation) and prove existence, uniqueness, and regularity. Of particular …

[HTML][HTML] Optimal transport, gradient estimates, and pathwise Brownian coupling on spaces with variable Ricci bounds

M Braun, K Habermann, KT Sturm - Journal de Mathématiques Pures et …, 2021 - Elsevier
Given a metric measure space (X, d, m) and a lower semicontinuous, lower bounded
function k: X→ R, we prove the equivalence of the synthetic approaches to Ricci curvature at …

Heat flow regularity, Bismut–Elworthy–Li's derivative formula, and pathwise couplings on Riemannian manifolds with Kato bounded Ricci curvature

M Braun, B Güneysu - Electronic Journal of Probability, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
We prove that if the Ricci tensor Ric of a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold M,
endowed with the Riemannian distance ρ and the Riemannian measure m, is bounded from …

Non-explosion of diffusion processes on manifolds with time-dependent metric

K Kuwada, R Philipowski - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2011 - Springer
We study the problem of non-explosion of diffusion processes on a manifold with time-
dependent Riemannian metric. In particular we obtain that Brownian motion cannot explode …

Reflected Brownian motion: selection, approximation and linearization

M Arnaudon, XM Li - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
We construct a family of SDEs with smooth coefficients whose solutions select a reflected
Brownian flow as well as a corresponding stochastic damped transport process (W_t), the …

[HTML][HTML] A time-dependent energy-momentum method

J de Lucas, BM Zawora - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We devise a generalisation of the energy momentum-method for studying the stability of non-
autonomous Hamiltonian systems with a Lie group of Hamiltonian symmetries. A …

Coupling of Brownian motions and Perelman's L-functional

K Kuwada, R Philipowski - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2011 - Elsevier
We show that on a manifold whose Riemannian metric evolves under backwards Ricci flow
two Brownian motions can be coupled in such a way that their normalized L-distance is a …

Space-time Wasserstein controls and Bakry–Ledoux type gradient estimates

K Kuwada - Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential …, 2015 - Springer
The duality in Bakry–Émery's gradient estimates and Wasserstein controls for heat
distributions is extended to that in refined estimates in a high generality. As a result, we find …
