In this article, we are interested in convexity properties of the free energy for stationary point processes on $\mathbb R$ w.r.t.\ a new geometry inspired by optimal transport. We will show for a rich class of pairwise interaction energies…

We develop the fundamentals of a local regularity theory for prescribed Jacobian equations which extend the corresponding results for optimal transportation equations. In this theory the cost function is extended to a generating function…

We give a construction of two-sided invariant metrics on free products (possibly with amalgamation) of groups with two-sided invariant metrics and, under certain conditions, on HNN extensions of such groups. Our approach is similar to the…

Let $(X,d,m)$ be a proper, non-branching, metric measure space. We show existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps for cost written as non-decreasing and strictly convex functions of the distance, provided $(X,d,m)$ satisfies a new…

We define a class of divergences to measure differences between probability density functions in one-dimensional sample space. The construction is based on the convex function with the Jacobi operator of mapping function that pushforwards…

In this letter we study how deterministic features presented by a system can be used to perform direct transport in a {\it quasi}-symmetric potential and weak dissipative system. We show that the presence of nonhyperbolic regions around…

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…

The present paper deals with some structural properties of transportation cost spaces, also known as Arens-Eells spaces, Lipschitz-free spaces and Wasserstein spaces. The main results of this work are: (1) A necessary and sufficient…

We use a natural generalization of the discrete Fourier transform to define transition maps between Hilbert subspaces and the global transport operator $Z$. By using these transition maps as Kraus (or noise) operators, an extension of the…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, be a compact convex set and let $\mu = \varrho_0 dx$ be a probability measure on $A$ equivalent to the restriction of Lebesgue measure. Let $\nu = \varrho_1 dx$ be a probability measure on $B_r :=…

We introduce the concept of a "transitory" dynamical system---one whose time-dependence is confined to a compact interval---and show how to quantify transport between two-dimensional Lagrangian coherent structures for the Hamiltonian case.…

This work deals with free transport equations with partly diffuse stochastic boundary operators in slab geometry. Such equations are governed by stochastic semigroups in $L^{1}$ spaces$.\ $We prove convergence to equilibrium at the rate…

Nontwist area-preserving maps violate the twist condition at specific orbits, resulting in shearless invariant curves that prevent chaotic transport. Plasmas and fluids with nonmonotonic equilibrium profiles may be described using nontwist…

In the current book I suggest an off-road path to the subject of optimal transport. I tried to avoid prior knowledge of analysis, PDE theory and functional analysis, as much as possible. Thus I concentrate on discrete and semi-discrete…
