Gradient flows of ( K, N ) -convex functions with negative N

Alternative title:
Gradient flows of ( K, N ) -convex functions..
Abstract:
We discuss (K, N)-convexity and gradient flows for (K, N)-convex functionals on metric spaces, in the case of real K and negative N. In this generality, it is necessary to consider functionals unbounded from below and/or above, possibly attaining as values both the positive and the negative infinity. We prove several properties of gradient flows of (K, N)-convex functionals characterized by Evolution Variational Inequalities, including contractivity, regularity, and uniqueness.
