We develop a theory of optimal transport relative to a distinguished subset, which acts as a reservoir of mass, allowing us to compare measures of different total variation. This relative transportation problem has an optimal solution and…

This work introduces a new approach to velocity averaging lemmas in kinetic theory. This approach -- based upon the classical energy method -- provides a powerful duality principle in kinetic transport equations which allows for a natural…

Given even strongly log-concave random vectors $X_{0}$ and $X_{1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we show that a natural joint distribution $(X_{0},X_{1})$ satisfies, \begin{equation} e^{ - \frac{1}{n}D ((1-t)X_{0} + t X_{1} \Vert Z)} \geq (1-t) e^{ -…

We consider the rate-limited quantum-to-classical optimal transport in terms of output-constrained rate-distortion coding for both finite-dimensional and continuous-variable quantum-to-classical systems with limited classical common…

We present new results on optimization problems where the involved functions are evenly convex. By means of a generalized conjugation scheme and the perturbation theory introduced by Rockafellar, we propose an alternative dual problem for a…

The notion of the H\"older convolution is introduced. The main result is that, under general conditions on functions L_1, ..., L_n, the function inverse to the Legendre--Fenchel transform of the H\"older convolution of L_1, ..., L_n…

We give a proof of the equivalence of the electric-magnetic duality on one side and helicity conservation of the tree level amplitudes on the other side within general models of nonlinear electrodynamics. Using modified Feynman rules…

Given an abelian variety $A$ over a global function field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$ and an irreducible complex continuous representation $\psi$ of the absolute Galois group of $K$, we obtain a BSD-type formula for the leading term of…

This work is devoted to a vast extension of Sanov's theorem, in Laplace principle form, based on alternatives to the classical convex dual pair of relative entropy and cumulant generating functional. The abstract results give rise to a…

We introduce a new class of convex-regularized Optimal Transport losses, which generalizes the classical Entropy-regularization of Optimal Transport and Sinkhorn divergences, and propose a generalized Sinkhorn algorithm. Our framework…

We study several duality isomorphisms between equivariant bivariant K-theory groups, generalising Kasparov's first and second Poincare duality isomorphisms. We use the first duality to define an equivariant generalisation of Lefschetz…
