Lecture notes on differential calculus on \(\mathsf{RCD}\) spaces (Q1626592)

The work is based on the extended notes of the course given by the author at RIMS, Kyoto, in October 2016, and the material partially comes from his work [Nonsmooth differential geometry -- an approach tailored for spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2018; Zbl 1404.53056)]. The lectures give a self-contained overview on the recently developed approach to differential calculus on metric measure spaces. They are devided into two main parts: The first one is devoted to first-order structure of general metric measure spaces (where the crucial role is played by the concept of $L^2$-normed $L^1$-module), while the second one deals with second-order differential structure of spaces with (Riemannian) Ricci curvature bounded from below.
