      From the author's abstract: We introduce a measure contraction property (MCP) of metric measure spaces which regarded as a generalized notion of the Ricci curvature bound on Riemannian manifolds. It is actually equivalent to the lower bound of the Ricci curvature in the Riemannian case. We generalize the Bonnet-Myers theorem, and prove that MCP is preserved under the measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence.
