What the paper claims, in its own words

Proves Gigli's conjecture: in every integer dimension n ≥ 2, Alexandrov curvature at least κ is characterized by the full-support RCD((n−1)κ,n)\mathop{\mathrm{RCD}}\nolimits ((n-1)\kappa,n) condition with reference measure Hn\mathcal H^n and distributional sectional curvature at least κ in the original global test classes. The RCD condition is unreduced.
