I'll be giving an informal recap of what we've learned so far about optimal transport, mostly by drawing pictures. Then, I'll discuss some of the ideas in the work of Lott and Villani, which gives a way using optimal transport to make sense of having lower bounds on Ricci curvature for metric measure spaces and various analytic consequences of this.
