Martingale Wasserstein inequality for probability measures in the convex order

Probability 2021-05-06 v2

Abstract

It was shown by the authors that two one-dimensional probability measures in the convex order admit a martingale coupling with respect to which the integral of xy\vert x-y\vert is smaller than twice their W1\mathcal W_1-distance (Wasserstein distance with index 11). We showed that replacing xy\vert x-y\vert and W1\mathcal W_1 respectively with xyρ\vert x-y\vert^\rho and Wρρ\mathcal W_\rho^\rho does not lead to a finite multiplicative constant. We show here that a finite constant is recovered when replacing Wρρ\mathcal W_\rho^\rho with the product of Wρ\mathcal W_\rho times the centred ρ\rho-th moment of the second marginal to the power ρ1\rho-1. Then we study the generalisation of this new stability inequality to higher dimension.
