Abstract

We study a class of quadratic Wasserstein distances on spaces consisting of generalized dynamical systems on a von Neumann algebra. We emphasize how symmetry of such a Wasserstein distance arises, but also study the asymmetric case. This setup is illustrated in the context of reduced dynamics, and a number of simple examples are also presented.
