Entropic Brenier maps are regularized analogues of Brenier maps (optimal transport maps) which converge to Brenier maps as the regularization parameter shrinks. In this work, we prove quantitative stability bounds between entropic Brenier…

We show quantitative stability results for the geometric "cells" arising in semi-discrete optimal transport problems. Our results show two types of stability, the first is stability of the associated Laguerre cells in measure, without any…

Continuity of the value of the martingale optimal transport problem on the real line w.r.t. its marginals was recently established in Backhoff-Veraguas and Pammer [2] and Wiesel [21]. We present a new perspective of this result using the…

Flow-based methods for sampling and generative modeling use continuous-time dynamical systems to represent a {transport map} that pushes forward a source measure to a target measure. The introduction of a time axis provides considerable…

We consider the optimal mass transportation problem in $\RR^d$ with measurably parameterized marginals, for general cost functions and under conditions ensuring the existence of a unique optimal transport map. We prove a joint measurability…

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…

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…

The function that maps a family of probability measures to the solution of the dual entropic optimal transport problem is known as the Schr\"odinger map. We prove that when the cost function is $\mathcal{C}^{k+1}$ with $k\in \mathbb{N}^*$…
