    Aktuelle Forschung / Current research

    Currently, one of my main target is to understand metric spaces whose Sobolev spaces are not Hilbert spaces. Those spaces can be seen as generalizations of Finsler manifolds. One distinguished property is that the natural heat flow and the Laplacian are non-linear.  Whereas many results are known for Riemannian-like metric spaces, called infinitesimally Hilbertian, very few results are known for spaces with non-linear infinitesimal structure. A first approach is to find a sectional curvature analogue similar to Alexandrov curvature. Convexity of the distance can be seen as a non-positive curvature. Currently, I'm trying to obtain a meaningful notion of non-negative curvature which hopefully gives a Finslerian version of Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded from below.
