Abstract
Abstract The goal of the paper is to study the angle between two curves in the framework of metric (and metric measure) spaces. More precisely, we give a new notion of angle between two curves in a metric space. Such a notion has a natural interplay with optimal transportation and is particularly well suited for metric measure spaces satisfying the curvature-dimension condition. Indeed one of the main results is the validity of the cosine formula on RCD*(K, N) metric measure spaces. As a consequence, the new introduced notions are compatible with the corresponding classical ones for Riemannian manifolds, Ricci limit spaces and Alexandrov spaces.

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces is an open access electronic journal that publishes cutting-edge research on analytical and geometrical problems in metric spaces and applications. We strive to present a forum where all aspects of these problems can be discussed.
AGMS is devoted to the publication of results on these and related topics:
Geometric inequalities in metric spaces,
Geometric measure theory and variational problems in metric spaces,
Analytic and geometric problems in metric measure spaces, probability spaces, and manifolds with density,
Analytic and geometric problems in sub-riemannian manifolds, Carnot groups, and pseudo-hermitian manifolds.
Geometric control theory,
Curvature in metric and length spaces,
Geometric group theory,
Harmonic Analysis. Potential theory,
Mass transportation problems,
Quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings. Quasiconformal geometry,
PDEs associated to analytic and geometric problems in metric spaces.
