A coupling of Brownian motions in the $\mathcal{L}_0$-geometry

Probability 2014-08-04 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

Under a complete Ricci flow, we construct a coupling of two Brownian motion such that their L0\mathcal{L}_0-distance is a supermartingale. This recovers a result of Lott [J. Lott, Optimal transport and Perelman's reduced volume, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 36 (2009), no. 1, 49--84.] on the monotonicity of L0\mathcal{L}_0-distance between heat distributions.
