We investigate the optimal mass transport problem associated to the following "ballistic" cost functional on phase space $M\times M^*$, $$ b_T(v, x):=\inf\{\langle v, \gamma (0)\rangle +\int_0^TL(\gamma (t), {\dot \gamma}(t))\, dt, \gamma…

We study the Monge and Kantorovich transportation problems on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ within the class of exchangeable measures. With the help of the de Finetti decomposition theorem the problem is reduced to an unconstrained optimal…
Caffarelli's contraction theorem bounds the derivative of the optimal transport map between a log-convex measure and a strongly log-concave measure. We show that an analogous phenomenon holds on the level of the trace: The trace of the…
We present an optimal transport framework for performing regression when both the covariate and the response are probability distributions on a compact Euclidean subset $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d>1$. Extending beyond compactly…
We consider dynamical transport metrics for probability measures on discretisations of a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. These metrics are natural discrete counterparts to the Kantorovich metric $\mathbb{W}_2$, defined using a…
We propose a generalized curvature that is motivated by the optimal transport problem on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with cost induced by a Tonelli Lagrangian $L$. We show that non-negativity of the generalized curvature implies displacement convexity…
