We introduce a curvature-dimension condition CD (K,N) for metric measure spaces. It is more restrictive than the curvature bound(introduced in [Sturm K-T (2006) On the geometry of metric measure spaces. I. Acta Math 196:65–131]) which is recovered as the borderline case CD(K, ∞). The additional real parameterNplays the role of a generalized upper bound for the dimension. For Riemannian manifolds, CD(K,N) is equivalent toand dim(M) ⩽N.The curvature-dimension condition CD(K,N) is stable under convergence. For any triple of real numbersK,N,Lthe family of normalized metric measure spaces (M, d,m) with CD(K,N) and diameter ⩽Lis compact.Condition CD(K,N) implies sharp version of the Brunn–Minkowski inequality, of the Bishop–Gromov volume comparison theorem and of the Bonnet–Myers theorem. Moreover, it implies the doubling property and local, scale-invariant Poincaré inequalities on balls. In particular, it allows to construct canonical Dirichlet forms with Gaussian upper and lower bounds for the corresponding heat kernels.
