Let $f: [0,1]^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function with zero mean and interpret $f_{+} = \max(f, 0)$ and $f_{-} = -\min(f, 0)$ as the densities of two measures. We prove that if the cost of transport from $f_{+}$ to $f_{-}$ is…

We obtain the sharp version of the uncertainty principle recently introduced in [47], and improved by [13], relating the size of the zero set of a continuous function having zero mean and the optimal transport cost between the mass of the…

In the paper we prove two inequalities in the setting of ${\sf RCD}(K,\infty)$ spaces using similar techniques. The first one is an indeterminacy estimate involving the $p$-Wasserstein distance between the positive part and the negative…

An easy consequence of Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality is the following: if $f:[0,1]^d \rightarrow \infty$ is Lipschitz and $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_N \right\} \subset [0,1]^d$, then $$ \left| \int_{[0,1]^d} f(x) dx - \frac{1}{N}…

Controlling the $\mathcal W_\infty$ Wasserstein distance by the $\mathcal W_p$ Wasserstein distance is interesting both for theorical and numerical applications. A first paper on this problem was written several years ago [3]. Some year…

We prove a new version of Egorov's theorem formulated in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture of quantum mechanics, using the $p$-Wasserstein metric applied to the Husimi functions of quantum states. The special case $p=1$ corresponds to a…

In the study of dynamical and physical systems, the input parameters are often uncertain or randomly distributed according to a measure $\varrho$. The system's response $f$ pushes forward $\varrho$ to a new measure $f\circ \varrho$ which we…
