In this paper and in we study the structure of spaces Y which are pointed Gromov Hausdor limits of sequences f M i pi g of complete connected Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvatures have a de nite lower bound say RicMn i n In Sections and sometimes in we also assume a lower volume bound Vol B pi v In this case the sequence is said to be non collapsing If limi Vol B pi then the sequence is said to collapse It turns out that a convergent sequence is noncollapsing if and only if the limit has…

We give the first examples of collapsing Ricci limit spaces on which the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is larger than that of the regular set; moreover, the Hausdorff dimension of these

### Ricci curvature and orientability

In this paper we define an orientation of a measured Gromov–Hausdorff limit space of Riemannian manifolds with uniform Ricci bounds from below. This is the first observation of orientability for

### Optimal Transport and Ricci Curvature for Metric- Measure Spaces

We survey work of Lott-Villani and Sturm on lower Ricci curvature bounds for metric-measure spaces. An intriguing question is whether one can extend notions of smooth Riemannian geome- try to general
