What kinds of gradient-flows on $\mathbb R^d$ preserve the log-concavity of the distribution $\mu_0$ of starting point $x_0$

Let $\mu_0$ be a log-concave distribution on $\mathbb R^d$ and let $f:\mathbb R^d \to \mathbb R$ be $C^2$. Let $x_0$ be sampled uniformly at random from a log-concave distribution $\mu_0$, meaning ...

Exponential map for tangent space of space of distributions $\mathscr{P}_2(X)$

In Chapter 8 of the book Gradient Flows In Metric Spaces and in the Space of Probability Measures by Ambrosio et al., the tangent space to the space of distributions on $X$ (let's say $X=\mathbb{R}^d$)...
