Optimal transport maps and plans between two absolutely continuous measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ can be approximated by solving semi-discrete or fully-discrete optimal transport problems. These two problems ensue from approximating $\mu$ or both…

Strassen's classical martingale coupling theorem states that two real-valued random variables are ordered in the convex (resp.\ increasing convex) stochastic order if and only if they admit a martingale (resp.\ submartingale) coupling. By…

We develop Brenier theorems on iterated Wasserstein spaces. For a separable Hilbert space $H$ and $N\geq 1$, we construct a full-support probability $\Lambda$ on $P_2^{N}(H)= P_2(... P_2(H)...)$ that is transport regular: for every $Q$ with…
