In the talk, I will start by recalling some basics of optimal transport and how it can be used to define Ricci curvature lower bounds for singular spaces, in a synthetic sense. Then, I will present some joint work with De Luca-De Ponti and Tomasiello,  where we show that some singular spaces,  naturally showing up in gravity compactifications (namely, Dp-branes),  enter the aforementioned setting of non-smooth spaces satisfying Ricci curvature lower bounds in a synthetic sense.  Time permitting, I will discuss some applications to the Kaluza-Klein spectrum.
