We study decreasing rearrangements of functions defined on (possibly non-smooth) metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below by and dimension bounded above by in a synthetic sense, the so called spaces. We first establish a Polya-Szego type inequality stating that the -Sobolev norm decreases under such a rearrangement and apply the result to show sharp spectral gap for the p-Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions (on open subsets), for every . This extends to the non-smooth setting a classical result of Bérard-Meyer [14] and Matei [41]; remarkable examples of spaces fitting our framework and for which the results seem new include: measured-Gromov Hausdorff limits of Riemannian manifolds with Ricci , finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with curvature, Finsler manifolds with Ricci .
In the second part of the paper we prove new rigidity and almost rigidity results attached to the aforementioned inequalities, in the framework of spaces, which are interesting even for smooth Riemannian manifolds with Ricci .

Ricci曲率在以下范围内的非光滑空间的Polya-Szego不等式和Dirichlet p谱间隙
我们研究在Ricci曲率下限为()的(可能是非平滑)度量度量空间上定义的函数的递减重排 和尺寸受上述限制 在综合意义上,所谓的 空格。我们首先建立Polya-Szego型不等式,说明-Sobolev范数在这种重排下减小,并将结果应用到显示Dirichlet边界条件(在开放子集上)的p -Laplace算子的尖锐谱隙。这延伸到非平滑设置的Bérard-Meyer[14]和Matei [41]的经典结果。符合我们框架的空间的显着示例,其结果似乎是新的,包括:黎曼流形与Ricci的实测格罗莫夫Hausdorff极限曲率的有限维亚历山大空间,Ricci的Finsler流形 。
在本文的第二部分中,我们证明了新的刚性和几乎刚性的结果附加到上述不等式上, 空间,即使对于带有Ricci的光滑黎曼流形也很有趣 。
