In this short note, we would like to give a construction of parallel transport for tangent cones lying in the interior of a geodesic in Wasserstein space. We give a complete proof for the linear part of the tangent space, and show that a…

We propose a new notion of the formal tangent space to the Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}(X)$ at a given measure. Modulo an integrability condition, we say that this tangent space is made of functions over $X$ which are valued in the…
