In this paper we study two basic facts of optimal transportation on Wiener space W. Our first aim is to answer to the Monge Problem on the Wiener space endowed with the Sobolev type norm (k,gamma) to the power of p (cases p = 1 and p > 1…

We adapt the problem of continuous congested optimal transport to the Heisenberg group, equipped with a sub-Riemannian metric. Originally introduced in the Euclidean setting by Carlier, Jimenez, and Santambrogio as a path-dependent variant…
