The Wasserstein distance quantifies the distance between two probability measures on a metric space. We prove an analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality for the Wasserstein distance on a finite area hyperbolic surface. This inequality…

We prove a sharp general inequality estimating the distance of two probability measures on a compact Lie group in the Wasserstein metric in terms of their Fourier transforms. We use a generalized form of the Wasserstein metric, related by…

We consider a one-dimensional aggregation-diffusion equation, which is the gradient flow in the Wasserstein space of a functional with competing attractive-repulsive interactions. We prove that the fully deterministic particle…

Rays are classes of an equivalence relation on a module V over a supertropical semiring. They provide a version of convex geometry, supported by a "supertropical trigonometry" and compatible with quasilinearity, in which the CS-ratio takes…

We deal with the analysis of on-off measurements designed for the confirmation of a weak source of events whose presence is hypothesized, based on former observations. The problem of a small number of source events that are masked by an…

The aim of this paper is twofold. Based on the geometric Wasserstein tangent space, we first introduce Wasserstein steepest descent flows. These are locally absolutely continuous curves in the Wasserstein space whose tangent vectors point…

We develop a projected Wasserstein distance for the two-sample test, a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning: given two sets of samples, to determine whether they are from the same distribution. In particular, we aim to…

We study the zero set of random analytic functions generated by a sum of the cardinal sine functions that form an orthogonal basis for the Paley-Wiener space. As a model case, we consider real-valued Gaussian coefficients. It is shown that…

Recently, the Wasserstein loss function has been proven to be effective when applied to deterministic full-waveform inversion (FWI) problems. We consider the application of this loss function in Bayesian FWI so that the uncertainty can be…

This paper concerns the convergence of empirical measures in high dimensions. We propose a new class of probability metrics and show that under such metrics, the convergence is free of the curse of dimensionality (CoD). Such a feature is…

It is perhaps not widely recognized that certain common notions of distance between probability measures have an alternative dual interpretation which compares corresponding functionals against suitable families of test functions. This dual…
