Since the number of registered students for this course exceeds the capacity of the seminar room (due to COVID-restrictions), the lectures will be held online via blackboard collaborate in moodle. However, we will return to in presence mode in case the number of participants drops below the allowed capacity in the course of the semester.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar is intended as a gentle introduction to the theory of Optimal Transport. As a concrete application, we will study lower Ricci curvature bounds in metric measure spaces, and in particular in Riemannian manifolds, via optimal transport.

Assessment and permitted materials

Preparing and giving a seminar talk, and participating in the discussions of seminar talks by fellow students.
