Measure rigidity of synthetic lower Ricci curvature bound on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract: In this paper we investigate Lott-Sturm-Villani's synthetic lower Ricci curvature bound on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We prove several measure rigidity results for some important functional and geometric inequalities, which completely characterize ${\rm CD}(K, \infty)$ condition and non-collapsed ${\rm CD}(K, N)$ condition on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. In particular, using $L^1$-optimal transportation theory, we prove that ${\rm CD}(K, \infty)$ condition implies geodesical convexity.
