For a given $1$-Lipschitz map $u\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$ we define a partition, up to a set of Lebesgue measure zero, of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into maximal closed convex sets such that restriction of $u$ is an isometry on these sets. We…
We suggest a new way of defining optimal transport of positive-semidefinite matrix-valued measures. It is inspired by a recent rendering of the incompressible Euler equations and related conservative systems as concave maximization…
The optimal transportation problem, first suggested by Gaspard Monge in the 18th century and later revived in the 1940s by Leonid Kantorovich, deals with the question of transporting a certain measure to another, using transport maps or…
Given two n-dimensional measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on Polish spaces, we propose an optimal transportation's formulation, inspired by classical Kan-torovitch's formulation in the scalar case. In particular, we established a strong duality…
We develop a theory of optimal transport relative to a distinguished subset, which acts as a reservoir of mass, allowing us to compare measures of different total variation. This relative transportation problem has an optimal solution and…

We explore the geometry of the Bures-Wasserstein space for potentially degenerate Gaussian measures on a separable Hilbert space. In this general setting, the optimal transport map is formally the subgradient of a convex function that is…
Consider a measurable space with an atomless finite vector measure. This measure defines a mapping of the $\sigma$-field into an Euclidean space. According to the Lyapunov convexity theorem, the range of this mapping is a convex compactum.…
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…
In this paper we propose a gauge-theoretic approach to the problems of optimal mass transport for vector and matrix densities. This resolves both the issues of positivity and action transitivity constraints. Bures-type metrics on the…
We consider the simultaneous optimal transportation of measures, where the target marginal is not necessarily fixed. For this problem, we prove the existence of a solution for completely regular spaces and investigate the structure of the…
A measure theoretical approach is presented to study the Monge-Kantorovich optimal mass transport problem. This approach together with Kantorovich duality provide an effective tool to answer a long standing question about the support of…
In this paper, we establish a Kantorovich duality for weak optimal total variation transport problems. As consequences, we recover a version of duality formula for partial optimal transports established by Caffarelli and McCann; and we also…
We study the problem of transporting one probability measure to another via an autonomous velocity field. We rely on tools from the theory of optimal transport. In one space-dimension, we solve a linear homogeneous functional equation to…
We consider probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ and study optimal transportation mappings for the case of infinite Kantorovich distance. Our examples include 1) quasi-product measures, 2) measures with certain symmetric…
Motivated by applications in classification of vector valued measures and multispecies PDE, we develop a theory that unifies existing notions of vector valued optimal transport, from dynamic formulations (\`a la Benamou-Brenier) to static…
The classical problem of optimal transportation can be formulated as a linear optimization problem on a convex domain: among all joint measures with fixed marginals find the optimal one, where optimality is measured against a cost function.…
The fundamental theorem of classical optimal transport establishes strong duality and characterizes optimizers through a complementary slackness condition. Milestones such as Brenier's theorem and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein formula are…
Optimal transport has recently started to be successfully employed to define misfit or loss functions in inverse problems. However, it is a problem intrinsically defined for positive (probability) measures and therefore strategies are…
We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
