Synopsis:

After a brief introduction to the theory of RCD(K,N) spaces, i.e. metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below by K and dimension bounded above by N, I will present the constancy of the dimension theorem in this setting. This result generalizes the one obtained by Colding and Naber for Ricci limits. Its proof relies on a new regularity result for flow maps of Sobolev velocity fields. This is based on a joint work with Daniele Semola.
