Gigli's conjecture: Alexandrov curvature bounds are characterized by his distributional sectional curvature on noncollapsed RCD spaces

Theorem 1.1: for every integer n≥2n\ge2 and κ∈R\kappa\in\mathbb R, a complete separable metric space is an nn-dimensional Alexandrov space with curvature at least κ\kappa if and only if, with m=Hnm=\mathcal H^n, it is a full-support unreduced RCD((n−1)κ,n)\mathrm{RCD}((n-1)\kappa,n) space whose distributional sectional curvature is at least κ\kappa in Gigli's original global test classes. The reference measure must be exactly Hausdorff measure; collapsed or weighted spaces are not covered, and dimension one is excluded. The companion proves that weak Hessian upper bounds hold along every minimizing geodesic in any full-support RCD(K,N)\mathrm{RCD}(K,N) space, 1<N<∞1<N<\infty.
