We introduce the notion of an interpolating path on the set of probability measures on finite graphs. Using this notion, we first prove a displacement convexity property of entropy along such a path and derive Prekopa-Leindler type…

We construct homogeneous optimal transport maps for the quadratic cost between convex cones with homogeneous, possibly degenerate, densities when the cones satisfy an obliqueness condition. The existence of such maps plays a central role in…

In this work, we present a theoretical and computational framework for constructing stochastic transport maps between probability distributions using diffusion processes. We begin by proving that the time-marginal distribution of the sum of…

We present generalized Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport coefficients $\mu$ in non-conservative fluid-type systems, of the generic form, $\mu$ $= \mu_\infty$ $+\int^\infty_0 dt V^{-1} \av{I_\epsilon \exp(t {\cal L}) I}_0$ where…

For a given Lagrangian $L:[0,T]\times M\times M^\ast\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ and probability measures $\mu\in\mathcal{P}(M^\ast)$, $\nu\in \mathcal{P}(M)$, we introduce the stochastic ballistic transportation problems…

It is well known that martingale transport plans between marginals $\mu\neq\nu$ are never given by Monge maps -- with the understanding that the map is over the first marginal $\mu$, or forward in time. Here, we change the perspective, with…

The optimal transport (OT) map is a geometry-driven transformation between high-dimensional probability distributions which underpins a wide range of tasks in statistics, applied probability, and machine learning. However, existing…

We study a variant of the dynamical optimal transport problem in which the energy to be minimised is modulated by the covariance matrix of the distribution. Such transport metrics arise naturally in mean-field limits of certain ensemble…

Experiments featuring fast heat propagation, or so called "non-local" transport, were a puzzle for almost two decades. However recently it was shown, and it is recalled here, that a collective ideal MHD response of the plasma provides a…

In the classical transport theory, the coefficients such as the diffusion, thermal conductivity and viscosity of fluid are usually expressed in a form proportional to the mean free path of molecules. We point out that this may cause a great…

Sampling from diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs) can be viewed as a piecewise distribution transformation, which generally requires hundreds or thousands of steps of the inverse diffusion trajectory to get a high-quality image. Recent…

This paper introduces a numerical algorithm to compute the $L_2$ optimal transport map between two measures $\mu$ and $\nu$, where $\mu$ derives from a density $\rho$ defined as a piecewise linear function (supported by a tetrahedral mesh),…
