School and Conference on

Metric Measure Spaces, Ricci Curvature, and Optimal Transport

Villa Monastero, Lake Como

This conference will outline new trends, results, and challenges of current research on metric measure spaces, Ricci curvature, optimal transport, and related topics, including  Riemannian, sub-Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry, geometric PDEs, Ricci flow, heat kernels, stochastic calculus, stochastic localization, and discrete models.

The program of the school consists of several miniseries of lectures accompanied by a number of invited lectures by leading scholars. Furthermore, numerous slots for contributed talks are scheduled, giving also opportunities to early-career researchers.
