I'll show how on metric measure spaces with Ricci
curvature bounded from below in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani there
is a well defined notion of Heat flow, and how the study of the
properties of this flow leads to interesting geometric and analytic
properties of the spaces themselves. A particular attention will be
given to the class of spaces where the Heat flow is linear. (From a
collaboration with Ambrosio and Savare')
