Curvature (mathematics) | Mathematical problems | Riemannian geometry
In Riemannian geometry, a branch of mathematics, the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold M and a symmetric 2-tensor h, construct a metric on M whose Ricci curvature tensor equals h. (Wikipedia).

Areejit Samal (7/25/22): Forman-Ricci curvature: A geometry-inspired measure with wide applications
Abstract: In the last few years, we have been active in the development of geometry-inspired measures for the edge-based characterization of real-world complex networks. In particular, we were first to introduce a discretization of the classical Ricci curvature proposed by R. Forman to the

T. Richard - Lower bounds on Ricci curvature, with a glimpse on limit spaces (Part 2)
The goal of these lectures is to introduce some fundamental tools in the study of manifolds with a lower bound on Ricci curvature. We will first state and prove the laplacian comparison theorem for manifolds with a lower bound on the Ricci curvature, and derive some important consequences
