We prove the Duality Theorems for the stochastic optimal transportation problems with a convex cost function without a regularity assumption that is often supposed in the proof of the lower semicontinuity of an action integral. In our new…

It is well known that martingale transport plans between marginals $\mu\neq\nu$ are never given by Monge maps -- with the understanding that the map is over the first marginal $\mu$, or forward in time. Here, we change the perspective, with…

We present a systematic study of conditional triangular transport maps in function spaces from the perspective of optimal transportation and with a view towards amortized Bayesian inference. More specifically, we develop a theory of…

We present a new ansatz space for the general symmetric multi-marginal Kantorovich optimal transport problem on finite state spaces which reduces the number of unknowns from $\tbinom{N+\ell-1}{\ell-1}$ to $\ell\cdot(N+1)$, where $\ell$ is…

We consider the optimal mass transportation problem in $\RR^d$ with measurably parameterized marginals, for general cost functions and under conditions ensuring the existence of a unique optimal transport map. We prove a joint measurability…

We develop a synthetic, variational framework for deriving comparison principles in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on the regularity of minimizers and Euler--Lagrange equations, our method…

We analyze continuous optimal transport problems in the so-called Kantorovich form, where we seek a transport plan between two marginals that are probability measures on compact subsets of Euclidean space. We consider the case of…

We consider a class of functions for which the multiple Stratonovich stochastic integral or equivalent iterated Stratonovich stochastic integral with square integrable weights is defined by the orthogonal expansion. The equality of the…

We study the potential functions that determine the optimal density for $\varepsilon$-entropically regularized optimal transport, the so-called Schr\"odinger potentials, and their convergence to the counterparts in classical optimal…

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…

Skorokhod's J1 and M1 topologies are standard tools in proving limit theorems for stochastic processes. Motivated by applications, we extend these topologies so that they are capable of describing the convergence of a sequence of functions…

We solve the martingale optimal transport problem for cost functionals represented by optimal stopping problems. The measure-valued martingale approach developed in ArXiv: 1507.02651 allows us to obtain an equivalent infinite-dimensional…

Optimal transportation with capacity constraints, a variant of the well-known optimal transportation problem, is concerned with transporting one probability density $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^m)$ onto another one $g \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ so as…

Given two n-dimensional measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on Polish spaces, we propose an optimal transportation's formulation, inspired by classical Kan-torovitch's formulation in the scalar case. In particular, we established a strong duality…
