Consider the Monge-Kantorovich problem of transporting densities $\rho_0$ to $\rho_1$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a strictly convex cost function. A popular relaxation of the problem is the one-parameter family called the entropic cost problem.…
We investigate the convergence rate of the optimal entropic cost $v_\varepsilon$ to the optimal transport cost as the noise parameter $\varepsilon \downarrow 0$. We show that for a large class of cost functions $c$ on $\mathbb{R}^d\times…

Let $\lambda$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb T^{n-1}$ where $n=2$ or 3. Suppose $\lambda$ is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure $\mu $…
This paper slightly improves a classical result by Gangbo and McCann (1996) about the structure of optimal transport plans for costs that are concave functions of the Euclidean distance. Since the main difficulty for proving the existence…
The optimal mass transportation was introduced by Monge some 200 years ago and is, today, the source of large number of results in analysis, geometry and convexity. Here I investigate a new, surprising link between optimal transformations…
One of the goals of this article is to define a an unified setting adapted to the description of means (normalized integrals or invariant means) on an infinite product of measured spaces with infinite measure. We first remark that some…
We show that for any set $A\subseteq [0,1]^n$ with $\text{Vol}(A)\ge 1/2$ there exists a line $\ell $ such that the one-dimensional Lebesgue measure of $\ell \cap A$ is at least $\Omega ( n^{1/4} )$. The exponent $1/4$ is tight. More…
The main result of this paper is the existence of an optimal transport map $T$ between two given measures $\mu$ and $\nu$, for a cost which considers the maximal oscillation of $T$ at scale $\delta$, given by…
The Bernoulli convolution $\nu_\lambda$ with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure supported on $\mathbf{R}$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum\pm\lambda^n$, where the $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. We…
We consider invariant transports of stationary random measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and establish natural mixing criteria that guarantee persistence of asymptotic variances. To check our mixing assumptions, which are based on two-point Palm…
We consider the problem of optimal transportation with quadratic cost between a empirical measure and a general target probability on R d , with d $\ge$ 1. We provide new results on the uniqueness and stability of the associated optimal…
We prove that for two-marginal optimal transport with Coulomb cost, the optimal map is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphism outside a closed set of Lebesgue measure zero provided the marginals are $\alpha$-H\"older continuous and bounded away…
This paper develops a new divergence that generalizes relative entropy and can be used to compare probability measures without a requirement of absolute continuity. We establish properties of the divergence, and in particular derive and…
