Stratified spaces and synthetic Ricci curvature bounds
We prove that a compact stratied space satises the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD(K, N) if and only if its Ricci tensor is bounded below by K $\in$ R on the regular set, the cone angle along the stratum of codimension two is smaller than or equal to 2$π$ and its dimension is at most equal to N. This gives a new wide class of geometric examples of metric measure spaces satisfying the RCD(K, N) curvature-dimension condition, including for instance spherical suspensions, orbifolds, K{ä}hler-Einstein manifolds with a divisor, Einstein manifolds with conical singularities along a curve. We also obtain new analytic and geometric results on stratied spaces, such as Bishop-Gromov volume inequality, Laplacian comparison, L{é}vy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality.
