Given an initial (resp., terminal) probability measure $\mu$ (resp., $\nu$) on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we characterize those optimal stopping times $\tau$ that maximize or minimize the functional $\mathbb{E} |B_0 - B_\tau|^{\alpha}$, $\alpha > 0$,…
Continuity of the value of the martingale optimal transport problem on the real line w.r.t. its marginals was recently established in Backhoff-Veraguas and Pammer [2] and Wiesel [21]. We present a new perspective of this result using the…
In this paper, we exhibit a new family of martingale couplings between two one-dimensional probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ in the convex order. This family is parametrised by two dimensional probability measures on the unit square with…
We prove the Martingale Convergence Theorem by using the work of L. Dubins and I. Monroe about embedding a given discrete-time martingale in the sample paths of a Brownian motion.
Quantization provides a very natural way to preserve the convex order when approximating two ordered probability measures by two finitely supported ones. Indeed, when the convex order dominating original probability measure is compactly…

We investigate the martingale Schr\"odinger bridge, recently introduced by Nutz and Wiesel as a distinguished martingale transport plan between two probability measures in convex order. We show that this construction extends naturally to…
The Skorokhod embedding problem is to represent a given probability as the distribution of Brownian motion at a chosen stopping time. Over the last 50 years this has become one of the important classical problems in probability theory and a…
We solve the $n$-marginal Skorokhod embedding problem for a continuous local martingale and a sequence of probability measures $\mu_1,...,\mu_n$ which are in convex order and satisfy an additional technical assumption. Our construction is…
We consider weak optimal problems (possibly entropically penalized) incorporating both soft and hard (including the case of the martingale condition) moment constraints. Even in the special case of the martingale optimal transport problem,…
In classical optimal transport, the contributions of Benamou-Brenier and McCann regarding the time-dependent version of the problem are cornerstones of the field and form the basis for a variety of applications in other mathematical areas.…
An intriguing question in martingale optimal transport is to characterize the martingale with prescribed initial and terminal marginals whose transition kernel is as Gaussian as possible. In this work we address an extension of this…
We consider a branching Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that there exists a random subset $\Theta$ of $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ such that the limit of the derivative martingale exists simultaneously for all directions $\theta \in…
We propose a discrete time formulation of the semi martingale optimal transport problembased on multi-marginal entropic transport. This approach offers a new way to formulate and solve numerically the calibration problem proposed by Guo et…
Contributions of the present paper consist of two parts. In the first one, we contribute to the theory of stochastic calculus for signed measures. For instance, we provide some results permitting to characterize martingales and Brownian…

In a martingale optimal transport (MOT) problem mass distributed according to the law $\mu$ is transported to the law $\nu$ in such a way that the martingale property is respected. Beiglb\"ock and Juillet (On a problem of optimal transport…
