Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the theory of metric measure spaces with synthetic Ricci bounds as introduced by Lott-Villani and the author and to the analysis on these spaces as developed by Ambrosio-Gigli-Savare. A key observation is the equivalence of the entropic curvature-dimension condition in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani and the energetic curvature-dimension condition in the sense of Bakry-Emery. Based on these concepts, in recent years a powerful analysis on singular spaces has been developed with deep results and far reaching applications (heat kernel comparison, Li-Yau estimates, splitting theorem, maximal diameter theorem, coupled Brownian motions).
Of particular interest are extensions of these results to a time-depending setting which
provides new insights for (super)Ricci flows of metric measure spaces.
