In this note, we propose a probabilistic approach to bound the (dimension-free) Lipschitz constant of the Langevin flow map on $\mathbb{R}^d$ introduced by Kim and Milman (2012). As example of application, we construct Lipschitz maps from a…

On weighted Riemannian manifolds we prove the existence of globally Lipschitz transport maps between the weight (probability) measure and log-Lipschitz perturbations of it, via Kim and Milman's diffusion transport map, assuming that the…

Inspired by the construction of the F{\"o}llmer process, we construct a unit-time flow on the Euclidean space, termed the F{\"o}llmer flow, whose flow map at time 1 pushes forward a standard Gaussian measure onto a general target measure.…

We prove new Lipschitz properties for transport maps along heat flows, constructed by Kim and Milman. For (semi)-log-concave measures and Gaussian mixtures, our bounds have several applications: eigenvalues comparisons, dimensional…

The optimal transport map between the standard Gaussian measure and an $\alpha$-strongly log-concave probability measure is $\alpha^{-1/2}$-Lipschitz, as first observed in a celebrated theorem of Caffarelli. In this paper, we apply two…

According to a celebrated result of L. Caffarelli, every optimal mass transportation mapping pushing forward the standard Gaussian measure onto a log-concave measure $e^{-W} dx$ with $D^2 W \ge {Id}$ is 1-Lipschitz. We present a short…

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…
