Abstract: This is the lecture notes on the interplay between optimal transport and Riemannian geometry. On a Riemannian manifold, the convexity of entropy along optimal transport in the space of probability measures characterizes lower bounds of the Ricci curvature. We then discuss geometric properties of general metric measure spaces satisfying this convexity condition.
