Needle decompositions in Riemannian geometry / Bo'az Klartag.

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 nonnegative, log-concave measures are obtained when conditio...
