We completely characterise the optimal solutions for the three-marginal optimal transport problem - introduced in [K. Bolbotowski, G. Bouchitt\'e, Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality theory for the Hessian, 2024, preprint], and whose relaxation…
Some classical mass transportation problems are investigated in a finitely additive setting. Let $\Omega=\prod_{i=1}^n\Omega_i$ and $\mathcal{A}=\otimes_{i=1}^n\mathcal{A}_i$, where $(\Omega_i,\mathcal{A}_i,\mu_i)$ is a ($\sigma$-additive)…

The dual representation of the martingale optimal transport problem in the Skorokhod space of multi dimensional cadlag processes is proved. The dual is a minimization problem with constraints involving stochastic integrals and is similar to…
We obtain bounds on the distribution of the maximum of a martingale with fixed marginals at finitely many intermediate times. The bounds are sharp and attained by a solution to $n$-marginal Skorokhod embedding problem in Ob{\l}\'oj and…

The fundamental theorem of classical optimal transport establishes strong duality and characterizes optimizers through a complementary slackness condition. Milestones such as Brenier's theorem and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein formula are…
We revisit Kellerer's Theorem, that is, we show that for a family of real probability distributions $(\mu_t)_{t\in [0,1]}$ which increases in convex order there exists a Markov martingale $(S_t)_{t\in[0,1]}$ s.t.\ $S_t\sim \mu_t$. To…

In a martingale optimal transport (MOT) problem mass distributed according to the law $\mu$ is transported to the law $\nu$ in such a way that the martingale property is respected. Beiglb\"ock and Juillet (On a problem of optimal transport…
Many results in probability (most famously, Strassen's theorem on stochastic domination), characterize some relationship between probability distributions in terms of the existence of a particular structured coupling between them. Optimal…
We introduce a new non-linear optimal transport formulation for a pair of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ sharing a common barycentre, in which admissible transference plans satisfy two martingale-type constraints. This bi-martingale…
