Entropic optimal transport offers a computationally tractable approximation to the classical problem. In this note, we study the approximation rate of the entropic optimal transport map (in approaching the Brenier map) when the…

We consider regularised quadratic optimal transport with subquadratic polynomial or entropic regularisation. In both cases, we prove interior Lipschitz-estimates on a transport-like map and interior gradient Lipschitz-estimates on the…

We give a new proof of the Caffarelli contraction theorem, which states that the Brenier optimal transport map sending the standard Gaussian measure onto a uniformly log-concave probability measure is Lipschitz. The proof combines a recent…

One of the central objects in the theory of optimal transport is the Brenier map: the unique monotone transformation which pushes forward an absolutely continuous probability law onto any other given law. A line of recent work has analyzed…
