Abstract

On the Wiener space $\Omega$, we introduce an abstract Ricci process $A_t$ and a pseudo-gradient $F\rightarrow{F}^\sharp$ which are compatible through an integration by parts formula. They give rise to a $\sharp$-Sobolev space on $\Omega$, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, and capacities, which are tight on Hoelder compact sets of $\Omega$. These are then applied to the path space over a Riemannian manifold.
