We establish exact rates of convergence in the $p$-Wasserstein distance for the empirical measure of a class of non-symmetric jump processes, which are subordinated to a diffusion process on a compact Riemannian manifold. For the quadratic…

We provide upper bounds of the expected Wasserstein distance between a probability measure and its empirical version, generalizing recent results for finite dimensional Euclidean spaces and bounded functional spaces. Such a generalization…

We introduce principal curves in Wasserstein space, and in general compact metric spaces. Our motivation for the Wasserstein case comes from optimal-transport-based trajectory inference, where a developing population of cells traces out a…

We propose in this paper a construction of a diffusion process on the Wasserstein space P\_2(R) of probability measures with a second-order moment. This process was introduced in several papers by Konarovskyi (see e.g. "A system of…

We study the Wasserstein gradient flow of semi-discrete energies in the space of probability measures, that is functionals depending on two measures-one being an absolutely continuous density and the other an atomic measure. These energies…

Let $(M^n,g,f)$ be a Ricci shrinker such that $\textrm{Ric}_f=\frac{1}{2}g$ and the measure induced by the weighted volume element $(4\pi)^{-\frac{n}{2}}e^{-f}dv_{g}$ is a probability measure. Given a point $p\in M$, we consider two…

The Wasserstein distance quantifies the distance between two probability measures on a metric space. We prove an analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality for the Wasserstein distance on a finite area hyperbolic surface. This inequality…

A Wasserstein spaces is a metric space of sufficiently concentrated probability measures over a general metric space. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the largeness of Wasserstein spaces, in a sense to be precised. In a first…
