Caffarelli's contraction theorem states that the Brenier optimal transport map from the standard Gaussian measure to a more log-concave probability measure is 1-Lipschitz. Owing to its many applications in analysis, probability, and…

A general theory is provided delivering convergence of maximal cyclically monotone mappings containing the supports of coupling measures of sequences of pairs of possibly random probability measures on Euclidean space. The theory is based…

We consider Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problems on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, with a convex cost function given by the cumulant generating function of a probability measure. Examples include the Wasserstein-2 transport whose cost…
