The RCD characterization by the five gradients inequality

From papers

Let (X,d,μ)(X,d,\mu) be an infinitesimally Hilbertian Polish metric space, and let KK be the Ricci-curvature lower-bound parameter in the RCD(K,)RCD(K,\infty) condition.

RCD characterization conjecture. The metric-measure space (X,d,μ)(X,d,\mu) is RCD(K,)RCD(K,\infty) if and only if the five gradients inequality holds.

This proposes an equivalence between the five gradients inequality and the synthetic Ricci-curvature condition in infinitesimally Hilbertian metric spaces. The source presents it as a conjecture; the corresponding general equivalence remains open.
