The purpose of this report is to acknowledge the influence of M. Gromov's vision of geometry on our own works. It is two-fold: in the first part we aim at describing some results, in dimension 3, around the question: which open 3-manifolds carry a complete Riemannian metric of positive or non negative scalar curvature? In the second part we look for weak forms of the notion of ''lower bounds of the Ricci curvature'' on non necessarily smooth metric measure spaces. We describe recent results some of which are already posted in [arXiv:1712.08386] where we proposed to use the volume entropy. We also attempt to give a new synthetic version of Ricci curvature bounded below using Bishop-Gromov's inequality.

AbstractIn this article, a proof of the interpolation inequality along geodesics in p-Wasserstein spaces is given. This interpolation inequality was the main ingredient to prove the Borel–Brascamp–Lieb inequality for general Riemannian and Finsler manifolds and led Lott–Villani and Sturm to define an abstract Ricci curvature condition. Following their ideas, a similar condition can be defined and for positively curved spaces one can prove a Poincaré inequality. Using Gigli’s recently developed calculus on metric measure spaces, even a q-Laplacian comparison theorem holds on q-infinitesimal convex spaces. In the appendix, the theory of Orlicz–Wasserstein spaces is developed and necessary adjustments to prove the interpolation inequality along geodesics in those spaces are given.
