Second order differentiation formula on RCD(K,N) spaces
Abstract
We prove the second order differentiation formula along geodesics in finite-dimensional RCD(K,N) spaces. Our approach strongly relies on the approximation of W2-geodesics by entropic interpolations and, in order to implement this approximation procedure, on the proof of new (even in the smooth setting) estimates for such interpolations.
