Needle decompositions in Riemannian geometry

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

The localization technique from convex geometry is generalized to the setting of Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below. In a nutshell, our method is based on the following observation: When the Ricci curvature is non-negative, log-concave measures are obtained when conditioning the Riemannian volume measure with respect to an integrable geodesic foliation. The Monge mass transfer problem plays an important role in our analysis.
