In this essay, we discuss the notion of optimal transport on geodesic measure spaces and the associated (2-)Wasserstein distance. We then examine displacement convexity of the entropy functional on the space of probability measures. In…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be non-empty, open and proper. Consider $Wb(\Omega)$, the space of finite Borel measures on $\Omega$ equipped with the partial transportation metric introduced by Figalli and Gigli that allows the creation…

Let $M$, $N$ be finite-dimensional manifolds with $M$ compact. This paper looks at the Riemnannian geometry on the space $C^\infty(M,N)$ of smooth maps equipped with the $L^2$-Riemannian metric. This metric was used by Ebin and Marsden in…

We view ultrametric spaces as two-sorted structures consisting of a set of points and of a linearly ordered set of distances. We call the appropriate notion of embeddings distance-carrying (dc for short). Those are obtained by combining…

We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of globally Lipschitz transport maps between probability measures and their log-Lipschitz perturbations, with dimension-free bounds. Our results include Gaussian measures on Euclidean…

We introduce folded optimal transport, as a method to extend a cost or distance defined on the extreme boundary of a convex to the whole convex, related to convex extension. This construction broadens the framework of standard optimal…

We analyze optimal transport problems with additional entropic cost evaluated along curves in the Wasserstein space which join two probability measures $m_0,m_1$. The effect of the additional entropy functional results into an elliptic…

We define the isoperimetric constant for any locally finite metric space and we study the property of having isoperimetric constant equal to zero. This property, called Small Neighborhood property, clearly extends amenability to any locally…

G\"ahler ([4],[5]) introduced and investigated the notion of 2-metric spaces and 2-normed spaces in sixties. These concepts are inspired by the notion of area in two dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we choose a fundamentally…

A theorem proved by Hrushovski for graphs and extended by Solecki and Vershik (independently from each other) to metric spaces leads to a stronger version of ultrahomogeneity of the infinite random graph $R$, the universal Urysohn metric…

We characterize metric spaces whose Lipschitz free space is isometric to $\ell_1$. In particular, the Lipschitz free space over an ultrametric space is not isometric to $\ell_1(\Gamma)$ for any set $\Gamma$. We give a lower bound for the…

The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…

We develop the theory of a metric, which we call the $\nu$-based Wasserstein metric and denote by $W_\nu$, on the set of probability measures $\mathcal P(X)$ on a domain $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$. This metric is based on a slight…

Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…

We propose a novel approach for comparing distributions whose supports do not necessarily lie on the same metric space. Unlike Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance which compares pairwise distances of elements from each distribution, we…

We consider the problem of isometric embedding of metric spaces to the Banach spaces; and introduce and study the remarkable class of so-called linearly rigid metric spaces: these are the spaces that admit a unique, up to isometry, linearly…

In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport-entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. This class of inequalities has been introduced in the recent…

We characterise the octahedrality of Lipschitz-free space norm in terms of a new geometric property of the underlying metric space. We study the metric spaces with and without this property. Quite surprisingly, metric spaces without this…

We study quantum Dirichlet forms and the associated symmetric quantum Markov semigroups on noncommutative $L^2$ spaces. It is known from the work of Cipriani and Sauvageot that these semigroups induce a first order differential calculus,…

Inspired by the recent theory of Entropy-Transport problems and by the $\mathbf{D}$-distance of Sturm on normalised metric measure spaces, we define a new class of complete and separable distances between metric measure spaces of possibly…
