Outline of the course:

• Lecture 1:
  • Quick introduction to non-smooth spaces with lower Ricci curvature bounds [1, 23, 20, 17];
  • Basic properties of spaces with lower Ricci bounds: Bishop-Gromov inequality and doubling metric measure spaces, Bochner’s inequality, splitting theorem [19, 22];
  • Convergence and stability: Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, Gromov pre-compactness theorem, stability and tangent cones [19, 22];
• Lecture 2:
  • Functional form of the splitting theorem via splitting maps;
  • δ-splitting maps and almost splitting theorem [5, 7];
  • Definition of metric measure cone, stability of RCD property for cones [16];
  • Functional form of the volume cone implies metric cone [12];
  • Almost volume cone implies almost metric cone via stability.
• Lecture 3:
  • Maximal function type arguments;
  • Existence of Euclidean tangents;
  • Rectifiability and uniqueness of tangents at regular points [18];
  • Volume convergence [9, 13];
  • Tangent cones are metric cones on noncollapsed spaces [5, 6, 13].
• Lecture 4:
  • Euclidean volume rigidity [9, 6, 13];
  • ε-regularity and classical Reifenberg theorem [6, 15, 7];
  • Harmonic functions on metric measure cones, frequency and separation of variables [7];
  • Transformation theorem for splitting maps [7];
  • Proof of canonical Reifenberg theorem via harmonic splitting maps [7].
• Lecture 5:
  • Regular and singular sets [6, 13];
  • Stratification of singular sets [6, 13];
  • Examples of singular behaviours [10, 11];

• Lecture 6:
  • The aim of this lecture is to give an introduction to the most recent developments of the regularity theory for non collapsed Ricci limit spaces.

Junior strings is a seminar series where DPhil students present topics of common interest that do not necessarily overlap with their own research areas. This is primarily aimed at PhD students and post-docs but everyone is welcome.
