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…

We study the convergence of divergence-regularized optimal transport as the regularization parameter vanishes. Sharp rates for general divergences including relative entropy or $L^{p}$ regularization, general transport costs and…

We consider regularised quadratic optimal transport with subquadratic polynomial or entropic regularisation. In both cases, we prove interior Lipschitz-estimates on a transport-like map and interior gradient Lipschitz-estimates on the…

We investigate the convergence rate of multi-marginal optimal transport costs that are regularized with the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, as the noise parameter $\varepsilon$ tends to $0$. We establish lower and upper bounds on the difference…

We give a new proof of the Caffarelli contraction theorem, which states that the Brenier optimal transport map sending the standard Gaussian measure onto a uniformly log-concave probability measure is Lipschitz. The proof combines a recent…

We present a primal-dual dynamical formulation of the multi-marginal optimal transport problem for (semi-)convex cost functions. Even in the two-marginal setting, this formulation applies to cost functions not covered by the classical…

In this paper, we extend the scope of Caffarelli's contraction theorem, which provides a measure of the Lipschitz constant for optimal transport maps between log-concave probability densities in $\R^d$. Our focus is on a broader category of…

In this work we study a modification of the Monge-Kantorovich problem taking into account path dependence and interaction effects between particles. We prove existence of solutions under mild conditions on the data, and after imposing…

The duality theory of the Monge--Kantorovich transport problem is analyzed in a general setting. The spaces $X, Y$ are assumed to be polish and equipped with Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. The transport cost function $c:X\times…

We study martingale inequalities from an analytic point of view and show that a general martingale inequality can be reduced to a pair of deterministic inequalities in a small number of variables. More precisely, the optimal bound in the…

A classical result of Strassen asserts that given probabilities $\mu, \nu$ on the real line which are in convex order, there exists a \emph{martingale coupling} with these marginals, i.e.\ a random vector $(X_1,X_2)$ such that $X_1\sim \mu,…

Adversarial examples have pointed out Deep Neural Networks vulnerability to small local noise. It has been shown that constraining their Lipschitz constant should enhance robustness, but make them harder to learn with classical loss…

We develop a method to solve, theoretically and numerically, general optimal stopping problems. Our general setting allows for multiple exercise rights, i.e., optimal multiple stopping, for a robust evaluation that accounts for model…

Monotonicity and convex analysis arise naturally in the framework of multi-marginal optimal transport theory. However, a comprehensive multi-marginal monotonicity and convex analysis theory is still missing. To this end we study extensions…
