This paper explores the construction and implications of synthetic notions of Ricci curvature on general metric measure spaces through the lens of optimal transport theory. Traditional differential geometric definitions of curvature rely on a smooth manifold structure, which is absent in many contemporary mathematical and physical settings. Optimal transport provides a robust framework to extend these fundamental geometric concepts to non-smooth spaces, characterized only by a distance function and a measure. We delve into the foundational Lott-Sturm-Villani (LSV) theory, which defines curvature-dimension conditions, such as CD(K,N) and RCD(K,N), through the convexity properties of entropy functionals along Wasserstein geodesics. The equivalence of these synthetic conditions with classical Bakry-Émery curvature bounds in smooth settings is discussed, highlighting the unifying power of optimal transport. We examine the stability of these conditions under various forms of convergence and their profound implications for functional inequalities like the Bishop-Gromov, Brunn-Minkowski, and HWI inequalities. Furthermore, the paper touches upon applications ranging from eigenvalue bounds in non-smooth settings to connections with gravitational theories and diffusion processes, demonstrating the broad utility and fundamental nature of synthetic curvature derived from optimal transport.
