It is proved that a parameterized curve in a metric space $X$ is absolutely continuous if and only if its composition with any Lipschitz function on $X$ is absolutely continuous.

In this article, using ideas of Liero, Mielke and Savar\'{e} in [21], we establish a Kantorovich duality for generalized Wasserstein distances $W_1^{a,b}$ on a generalized Polish metric space, introduced by Picolli and Rossi. As a…

We investigate the stability of the Wasserstein distance, a metric structure on the space of probability measures arising from the theory of optimal transport, under metric ultralimits. We first show that if $(X_{i},d_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$…

Optimal transport enables one to construct a metric on the set of (sufficiently small at infinity) probability measures on any (not too wild) metric space X, called its Wasserstein space W(X). In this paper we investigate the geometry of…

We define and study the regularity of distance maps on geodesically complete spaces with curvature bounded above. We prove that such a regular map is locally a Hurewicz fibration. This regularity can be regarded as a dual concept of…

Consider a complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ and optimal transport problems on it with cost functions of the form $c(x,y) = h(d_{{g}}(x,y))$. We study the absolute continuity of the corresponding generalized Wasserstein barycenters of…

We prove that every acyclic normal one-dimensional real Ambrosio-Kirchheim current in a Polish (i.e. complete separable metric) space can be decomposed in curves, thus generalizing the analogous classical result proven by S. Smirnov in…

We study Polish spaces for which a set of possible distances $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^+$ is fixed in advance. We determine, depending on the properties of $A$, the complexity of the collection of all Polish metric spaces with distances in…

We prove an equivalence between open questions about the embeddability of the space of persistence diagrams and the space of probability distributions (i.e.~Wasserstein space). It is known that for many natural metrics, no coarse embedding…
