We study a class of quadratic Wasserstein distances on spaces consisting of generalized dynamical systems on a von Neumann algebra. We emphasize how symmetry of such a Wasserstein distance arises, but also study the asymmetric case. This…

We investigate the stability of solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system using the unifying framework of the kinetic Wasserstein distance, introduced by Iacobelli in (Section 4 in Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 244 (2022), no. 1, 27-50). This…
