The theory of curvature-dimension bounds for nonsmooth spaces has several motivations: the study of functional and geometric inequalities in structures which are very far from being Euclidean,…

The notion of gradient flows is generalized to a metric space setting without any linear structure. The metric spaces considered are a generalization of Hilbert spaces, and the properties of such…
