This research demonstrates characterizations for almost smooth spaces to be RCD spaces, indicating important geometric implications.
We provide various characterizations for a given almost smooth space to be an RCD space, in terms of a local volume doubling and a local Poincaré inequality. Applications include a characterization of Einstein 4-orbifolds.
