Review text

Let \((X,d)\) be a Polish space endowed with a random walk \(m= (m_x)_{x\in X}\). According to \textit{Y. Ollivier} [J. Funct. Anal. 256, No. 3, 810--864 (2009; Zbl 1181.53015)], the Ricci curvature of \((X,d,m)\) is given as: \[ k(x,y)= 1- W_1(m_x, m_y)/d(x,y),\;x\neq y, \] where \(W_1\) is the metric provided by the Kantorovich dual theorem. In the present paper, the authors study the Ricci curvature of Markov chains on Polish spaces revisited, providing the construction of Markov chains with positive Ricci curvature.
