We study the barycenter of the Hellinger--Kantorovich metric over non-negative measures on compact, convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. The article establishes existence, uniqueness (under suitable assumptions) and equivalence between a…

The Hellinger-Kantorovich (HK) distance is an unbalanced extension of the Wasserstein-2 distance. It was shown recently that the HK barycenter exhibits a much more complex behaviour than the Wasserstein barycenter. Motivated by this…

We study barycenters in the space of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold, equipped with the Wasserstein metric. Under reasonable assumptions, we establish absolute continuity of the barycenter of general measures $\Omega \in…

This paper will deal with differentiability properties of the class of Hellinger-Kantorovich distances which was recently introduced on the space of finite nonnegative Radon measures.

We prove quantitative stability estimates for Wasserstein barycenters on Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded from below. The proof combines the variational strategy of Carlier--Delalande--M\'erigot with heat-kernel regularization,…

We prove existence and duality on a wide class of metric spaces, and uniqueness results on any connected, complete Riemannian manifold, with or without boundary, for classical Monge--Kantorovich barycenters. In particular, this is the first…

We study two topologies $\tau_{KR}$ and $\tau_K$ on the space of measures on a completely regular space generated by Kantorovich--Rubinshtein and Kantorovich seminorms analogous to their classical norms in the case of a metric space. The…

We study the Wasserstein barycenter problem in the setting of non-compact, non-smooth extended metric measure spaces. We introduce a couple of new concepts and obtain the existence, uniqueness, absolute continuity of the Wasserstein…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the barycenter of a signed distribution of probability measures on a Hilbert space. The barycenter is found, as usual, as a minimum of a functional. In the case where the positive part of the signed…

A characterization is presented of barycenters of the Radon probability measures supported on a closed convex subset of a given space. A case of particular interest is studied, where the underlying space is itself the space of finite signed…

We study barycenters of $N$ probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to the $p$-Wasserstein metric ($1<p<\infty$). We prove that -- $p$-Wasserstein barycenters of absolutely continuous measures are unique, and again absolutely…

This work establishes fast rates of convergence for empirical barycenters over a large class of geodesic spaces with curvature bounds in the sense of Alexandrov. More specifically, we show that parametric rates of convergence are achievable…

Wasserstein barycenters define averages of probability measures in a geometrically meaningful way. Their use is increasingly popular in applied fields, such as image, geometry or language processing. In these fields however, the probability…

We prove generalized versions of the Variance Inequality known for barycenters in CAT(0) spaces, inspired by an analogous result for $p$-uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our generalizations apply to balls of sufficiently small radius in…

We prove the following isoperimetric type inequality: Given a finite absolutely continuous Borel measure on ${\mathbb R}^n$, halfspaces have maximal measure among all subsets with prescribed barycenter. As a consequence, we make progress…

We investigate barycenters of probability measures on Gromov hyperbolic spaces, toward development of convex optimization in this class of metric spaces. We establish a contraction property (the Wasserstein distance between probability…

Given a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with a lower Ricci curvature bound, we consider barycenters in the Wasserstein space $\mathcal{W}_2(M)$ of probability measures on $M$. We refer to them as Wasserstein barycenters, which by…

We generalize the notion and theory of Wasserstein barycenters introduced by Agueh and Carlier (2011) from the quadratic cost to general smooth strictly convex costs $h$ with non-degenerate Hessian. We show the equivalence between a coupled…

We introduce the notions of \textit{conformal barycenter} and \textit{holomorphic barycenter} of a measurable set $D$ in the hyperbolic ball. The two barycenters coincide in the disk, but they differ in multidimensional balls $\mathbb{C}^m…

We prove an inequality on the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance --which can be seen as a particular case of a Wasserstein metric-- between two solutions of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff, but with a…
