Let $M,N$ be two smooth compact hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$ which bound strictly convex domains equipped with two absolutely continuous measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ (with respect to the volume measures of $M$ and $N$). We consider the…

We introduce the problem of transporting vector-valued distributions. In this, a salient feature is that mass may flow between vectorial entries as well as across space (discrete or continuous). The theory relies on a first step taken to…
