We study an optimal weak transport cost related to the notion of convex order between probability measures. On the real line, we show that this weak transport cost is reached for a coupling that does not depend on the underlying cost…

We study the convergence of divergence-regularized optimal transport as the regularization parameter vanishes. Sharp rates for general divergences including relative entropy or $L^{p}$ regularization, general transport costs and…
On compact manifolds which are not simply connected, we prove the existence of "fake" solutions to the optimal transportion problem. These maps preserve volume and arise as the exponential of a closed 1 form, hence appear geometrically like…
Contraction properties of transport maps between probability measures play an important role in the theory of functional inequalities. The actual construction of such maps, however, is a non-trivial task and, so far, relies mostly on the…

Starting from a general $N$-band Hamiltonian with weak spatial and temporal variations, we derive a low energy effective theory for transport within one or several overlapping bands. To this end, we use the Wigner representation that allows…
We consider the sharp interface limit of a convective Allen-Cahn equation, which can be part of a Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system, for different scalings of the mobility $m_\varepsilon=m_0\varepsilon^\theta$ as $\varepsilon\to 0$. In the…
In this article we obtain new rigidity results for stochastically complete maximal hypersurfaces in Generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes that satisfy the Null Energy Condition. Under appropiate geometric assumptions we prove new…
A formula is given for the variation of the Hawking energy along any one-parameter foliation of compact spatial 2-surfaces. A surface for which one null expansion is positive and the other negative has a preferred orientation, with a…
In this paper, we study dynamical optimal transport on a connected graph from the perspective of the Benamou-Brenier formulation, where densities are assigned to vertices and velocities to edges. However, directly using Newton's method on…
In this work we consider an optimal transport problem with coefficients in a normed Abelian group $G$, and extract a purely intrinsic condition on $G$ that guarantees that the optimal transport (or the corresponding minimum filling) is not…
Using the principle of least action, the motion equations for a singular hypersurface of arbitrary type in quadratic gravity are derived. Equations containing the "external pressure" and the "external flow" components of the surface…
We investigate metric conditions that allow to prove existence and uniqueness of a map solving the Monge problem between two marginals in a metric (measure) space, proving two main results. Firstly, we introduce a nonsmooth version of the…
Coherent transport of an excitation through a network corresponds to continuous-time quantum walk on a graph, and the transport properties of the system may be radically different depending on the graph and on the initial state. The…
We analyze optimal transport problems with additional entropic cost evaluated along curves in the Wasserstein space which join two probability measures $m_0,m_1$. The effect of the additional entropy functional results into an elliptic…
We focus on Optimal Transport PDE on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with a particular type of cost function $c(x,y) = F(x \cdot y, x \cdot \hat{e}, y \cdot \hat{e})$ which we call cost functions with preferential direction, where $\hat{e}…

The paper is concerned with regularity properties of boundaries of causal pasts of points in a 3+1-dimensional Einstein-vacuum spacetime. In a Lorentzian manifold such boundaries play crucial role in propagation of linear and nonlinear…
We identify, in spacetimes satisfying the null convergence condition, a certain natural class of null hypersurfaces that admit null sections with constant surface gravity. Our work is meant to offer complementary results to previous work on…
