We introduce the notion of tubular dimension, and give a formula for it. As an application we show that every invariant measure of a $C^{1+\gamma}$ diffeomorphism of a closed Riemannian manifold admits an asymptotic local product structure…

We explore the geometry of the Bures-Wasserstein space for potentially degenerate Gaussian measures on a separable Hilbert space. In this general setting, the optimal transport map is formally the subgradient of a convex function that is…

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…

This paper revives a four-decade-old problem concerning regularity theory for (continuous) constraint maps with free boundaries. Dividing the map into two parts, the distance part and the projected image to the constraint, one can prove…

Suppose we are given two metric spaces and a family of continuous transformations from one to the other. Given a probability distribution on each of these two spaces - namely the source and the target measures - the Wasserstein alignment…

In this paper, we establish a regularity theory for the optimal transport problem when the target is composed of two disjoint convex domains. This is an important model in which singularities arise. Even though the singular set does not…
