contents The main goal of the present paper is to provide sharp hypercontractivity bounds of the heat flow $({\sf H}_t)_{t\geq 0}$ on ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ metric measure spaces. The best constant in this estimate involves the asymptotic volume ratio, and its optimality is obtained by means of the sharp $L^2$-logarithmic Sobolev inequality on ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ spaces and a blow-down rescaling argument. Equality holds in this sharp estimate for a prescribed time $t_0>0$ and a non-zero extremizer $f$ if and only if the ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ space has an $N$-Euclidean cone structure and $f$ is a Gaussian whose dilation factor is reciprocal to $t_0$, up to a multiplicative constant. Applications include an extension of Li's rigidity result, almost rigidities, as well as topological rigidities of non-collapsed ${\sf RCD}(0, N)$ spaces. Our results are new even on complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature.

The main goal of the present paper is to provide sharp hypercontractivity bounds of the heat flow $({\sf H}_t)_{t\geq 0}$ on ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ metric measure spaces. The best constant in this estimate involves the asymptotic volume ratio, and its optimality is obtained by means of the sharp $L^2$-logarithmic Sobolev inequality on ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ spaces and a blow-down rescaling argument. Equality holds in this sharp estimate for a prescribed time $t_0>0$ and a non-zero extremizer $f$ if and only if the ${\sf RCD}(0,N)$ space has an $N$-Euclidean cone structure and $f$ is a Gaussian whose dilation factor is reciprocal to $t_0$, up to a multiplicative constant. Applications include an extension of Li's rigidity result, almost rigidities, as well as topological rigidities of non-collapsed ${\sf RCD}(0, N)$ spaces. Our results are new even on complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature.
