We study the quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) problem for quadratic cost and compactly supported marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$. It has been empirically observed that the optimal coupling $\pi_\epsilon$ for the QOT problem has…
An interesting question in the field of martingale optimal transport, is to determine the martingale with prescribed initial and terminal marginals which is most correlated to Brownian motion. Under a necessary and sufficient irreducibility…
Randomised arcade processes are a class of continuous stochastic processes that interpolate in a strong sense, i.e., omega by omega, between any given ordered set of random variables, at fixed pre-specified times. Utilising these processes…
Classic optimal transport theory is formulated through minimizing the expected transport cost between two given distributions. We propose the framework of distorted optimal transport by minimizing a distorted expected cost, which is the…
We introduce Hierarchical Jump multi-marginal transport (HJMOT), a generalization of multi-marginal optimal transport where mass can "jump" over intermediate spaces via augmented isolated points. Established on Polish spaces, the framework…

We introduce and study the permanence properties of the class of linear transfers between probability measures. This class contains all cost minimizing mass transports, but also martingale mass transports, the Schrodinger bridge associated…
The Optimal transport (OT) problem is rapidly finding its way into machine learning. Favoring its use are its metric properties. Many problems admit solutions with guarantees only for objects embedded in metric spaces, and the use of…
In this work we derive a convex dual representation for increasing convex functionals on a space of real-valued Borel measurable functions defined on a countable product of metric spaces. Our main assumption is that the functionals fulfill…
This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…
In a martingale optimal transport (MOT) problem mass distributed according to the law $\mu$ is transported to the law $\nu$ in such a way that the martingale property is respected. Beiglb\"ock and Juillet (On a problem of optimal transport…
In this note, we extend the regularity theory for monotone measure-preserving maps, also known as optimal transports for the quadratic cost optimal transport problem, to the case when the support of the target measure is an arbitrary convex…
This paper deals with the existence of optimal transport maps for some optimal transport problems with a convex but non strictly convex cost. We give a decomposition strategy to address this issue. As part of our strategy, we have to treat…
We study properties of causal couplings for probability measures on the space of continuous functions. We first provide a characterization of bicausal couplings between weak solutions of stochastic differential equations. We then provide a…
The regularity of monotone transport maps plays an important role in several applications to PDE and geometry. Unfortunately, the classical statements on this subject are restricted to the case when the measures are compactly supported. In…
We study the Monge and Kantorovich transportation problems on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ within the class of exchangeable measures. With the help of the de Finetti decomposition theorem the problem is reduced to an unconstrained optimal…
We analyze continuous optimal transport problems in the so-called Kantorovich form, where we seek a transport plan between two marginals that are probability measures on compact subsets of Euclidean space. We consider the case of…
We introduce a new variant of the weak optimal transport problem where mass is distributed from one space to the other through unnormalized kernels. We give sufficient conditions for primal attainment and prove a dual formula for this…
Optimal transport has recently been brought forward as a tool for modeling and efficiently solving a variety of flow problems, such as origin-destination problems and multi-commodity flow problems. Although the framework has shown to be…
In the current book I suggest an off-road path to the subject of optimal transport. I tried to avoid prior knowledge of analysis, PDE theory and functional analysis, as much as possible. Thus I concentrate on discrete and semi-discrete…
