The present paper deals with some structural properties of transportation cost spaces, also known as Arens-Eells spaces, Lipschitz-free spaces and Wasserstein spaces. The main results of this work are: (1) A necessary and sufficient…
Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized…
This paper surveys recent applications of methods from the theory of optimal transport to econometric problems.
Optimal Transport is a theory that allows to define geometrical notions of distance between probability distributions and to find correspondences, relationships, between sets of points. Many machine learning applications are derived from…
We discuss methods of Optimal Transportation Theory and its relations to problems in quantum mechanics. This essentially means that the cost function is some Hamiltonian $H(q,p)$ on a phase space (symplectic manifold), and the marginal…
In many applications of optimal transport (OT), the object of primary interest is the optimal transport map. This map rearranges mass from one probability distribution to another in the most efficient way possible by minimizing a specified…
The cycle space of a graph corresponds to the kernel of an incidence matrix. We investigate an analogous subspace for digraphs. In the case of digraphs of graphs, where every edge is replaced by two oppositely directed arcs, we give a…
The displacement and deviation vectors in spaces (manifolds), the tangent bundle of which is endowed with a transport along paths, are introduced. In case these spaces are equipped with a linear connection, the deviation equations (between…
In compact settings, the convergence rate of the empirical optimal transport cost to its population value is well understood for a wide class of spaces and cost functions. In unbounded settings, however, hitherto available results require…
This is the first part of a series of articles where we are going to develop theory of valuations on manifolds generalizing the classical theory of continuous valuations on convex subsets of a linear space. In this article we still work…
Optimal transport has become part of the standard quantitative economics toolbox. It is the framework of choice to describe models of matching with transfers, but beyond that, it allows to: extend quantile regression; identify discrete…
Real-world road networks have an approximate scale-invariance property; can one devise mathematical models of random networks whose distributions are {\em exactly} invariant under Euclidean scaling? This requires working in the continuum…
One of the themes in algebraic geometry is the study of the relation between the ``topology'' of a smooth projective variety and a (``general'') hyperplane section. Recent results of Nori produce cohomological evidence for a conjecture that…
A novel partial order is defined on the space of digraphs or hypergraphs, based on assessing the cost of producing a graph via a sequence of elementary transformations. Leveraging work by Knuth and Skilling on the foundations of inference,…
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…
Optimal Transport has received much attention in Machine Learning as it allows to compare probability distributions by exploiting the geometry of the underlying space. However, in its original formulation, solving this problem suffers from…
This paper addresses the question: given a scalar group, can we determine all the additions that transform this scalar group into a (near-)field? A key approach to addressing this problem involves transporting (near-)field structures via…
Let $L=\DD+Z$ for a $C^1$ vector field $Z$ on a complete Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary. By using the uniform distance, a number of transportation-cost inequalities on the path space for the (reflecting) $L$-diffusion process…
BY using Green-Griffiths' results on tangent spaces to algebraic cycles [4], we study the tangent space to $CH^{2}(X,1)$, where $X$ is a nonsingular projective curve over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$.
Recently, the theory of symmetric spaces has come to play an increased role in the physics of integrable systems and in quantum transport problems. In addition, it provides a classification of random matrix theories. In this paper we give a…
