Abstract: We define the Ricci curvature, as a measure, for certain singular torsion-free connections on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The definition uses an integral formula and vector-valued half-densities. We give relevant examples in which the Ricci measure can be computed. In the time dependent setting, we give a weak notion of a Ricci flow solution on a manifold.

Review text

The author defines the Ricci curvature as a measure for certain singular torsion-free connections on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The definition uses an integral formula and vector-valued half-densities. The author first defines tame connections, characterizes them in terms of the Christoffel symbols, and prove stability under \(L^\infty\)-perturbations of the connection. He defines the Ricci measure and extends this notion to the case of weighted manifolds. He then computes relevant examples of the Ricci measure: Alexandrov surfaces, Riemannian manifolds with boundary that are glued together, families of cones, Kähler manifolds and limit spaces of manifolds with lower bounds on Ricci curvature and injectivity radius. In the time-dependent setting, the author introduces and investigates a weak notion of a Ricci flow solution on a manifold.
