講演者: Cédric Villani 氏 (Université de Lyon, Institut Henri Poincaré)
講演題目: Synthetic theory of Ricci curvature ― When Monge, Riemann and Boltzmann meet ―
講演概要: Optimal transport theory, non-Euclidean geometry and statistical physics met fifteen years ago with the discovery that Ricci curvature can be studied quantitatively thanks to entropy and Monge-Kantorovich transport. This unexpected encounter was very fruitful, leading to progress in each of these fields.
