Optimal transport has become part of the standard quantitative economics toolbox. It is the framework of choice to describe models of matching with transfers, but beyond that, it allows to: extend quantile regression; identify discrete…
We study the optimal transport problem on globally hyperbolic spacetimes associated with Orlicz-type Lorentzian cost functions of the form $u \circ \ell$, where $u$ is a suitable monotonically increasing and concave function, and $\ell$ is…

The Ma-Trudinger-Wang curvature --- or cross-curvature --- is an object arising in the regularity theory of optimal transportation. If the transportation cost is derived from a Hamiltonian action, we show its cross-curvature can be…

The question of which costs admit unique optimizers in the Monge-Kantorovich problem of optimal transportation between arbitrary probability densities is investigated. For smooth costs and densities on compact manifolds, the only known…
This work investigates several aspects related to quantitative stability in optimal transport, as well as uniqueness of the dual transport problem. Our main contributions are as follows. Chapter 1: Observations regarding the quantitative…
This work originates from a heart's images tracking which is to generate an apparent continuous motion, observable through intensity variation from one starting image to an ending one both supposed segmented. Given two images p0 and p1, we…
A new pairwise cost function is proposed for the optimal transport barycenter problem, adopting the form of the minimal action between two points, with a Lagrangian that takes into account an underlying probability distribution. Under this…
We prove existence of an optimal transport map in the Monge-Kantorovich problem associated to a cost $c(x,y)$ which is not finite everywhere, but coincides with $|x-y|^2$ if the displacement $y-x$ belongs to a given convex set $C$ and it is…
We conjecture that the current fluctuations in one-dimensional driven transport systems obey an upper bound determined by the mean current and the driving force. This inequality originates from repulsive interactions between transporting…
In this paper we consider finite dimensional dynamical systems generated by a Lipschitz function. We prove a version of the Whitney's Extension Theorem on compact manifolds to obtain a version of the well-known Lambda Lemma for Lipschitz…

We consider strictly log-concave measures, whose bounds degenerate at infinity. We prove that the optimal transport map from the Gaussian onto such a measure is locally Lipschitz, and that the eigenvalues of its Jacobian have controlled…
