Gigli’s characterization of Alexandrov curvature
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 condition with reference measure and distributional sectional curvature at least κ in the original global test classes. The RCD condition is unreduced.
