Distances in the conformal manifold, the space of CFTs related by marginal deformations, can be measured in terms of the Zamolodchikov metric. Part of the CFT Distance Conjecture posits that points in this manifold where part of the…
We propose the use of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein norm from optimal transport in imaging problems. In particular, we discuss a variational regularisation model endowed with a Kantorovich-Rubinstein discrepancy term and total variation…
This paper is concerned with an optimization problem that is constrained by the Kantorovich optimal transportation problem. This bilevel optimization problem can be reformulated as a mathematical problem with complementarity constraints in…
In this review paper, we describe the use of couplings in several different mathematical problems. We consider the total variation norm, maximal coupling, and the $\bar{d}$-distance. We present a detailed proof of a result recently proved:…
Up-to techniques are a well-known method for enhancing coinductive proofs of behavioural equivalences. We introduce up-to techniques for behavioural metrics between systems modelled as coalgebras and we provide abstract results to prove…
Markov categories, having tensors with copying and discarding, provide a setting for categorical probability. This paper uses finite colimits and what we call uniform states in such Markov categories to define a (fixed size) multiset…
We establish general upper bounds on the Kolmogorov distance between two probability distributions in terms of the distance between these distributions as measured with respect to the Wasserstein or smooth Wasserstein metrics. These bounds…
Recently, there have been several applications of differential and algebraic topology to problems concerned with the global structure of spacetimes. In this paper, we derive obstructions to the existence of spin-Lorentz and pin-Lorentz…
Functional lifting methods provide a tool for approximating solutions of difficult non-convex problems by embedding them into a larger space. In this work, we investigate a mathematically rigorous formulation based on embedding into the…
Approximation properties of multivariate Kantorovich-Kotelnikov type operators generated by different band-limited functions are studied. In particular, a wide class of functions with discontinuous Fourier transform is considered. The…
The paper is accompanying "A general Duality Theorem for the Monge-Kantorovich Transport Problem". We explain the methods used in this article in an elementary setting and present two examples complementing the results obtained therein.
We consider Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problems on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, with a convex cost function given by the cumulant generating function of a probability measure. Examples include the Wasserstein-2 transport whose cost…
As the title suggests, this is the third paper in a series addressing bilevel optimization problems that are governed by the Kantorovich problem of optimal transport. These tasks can be reformulated as mathematical problems with…
We develop a calculus of surgery data, called bridged links, which involves besides links also pairs of balls that describe one-handle attachements. As opposed to the usual link calculi of Kirby and others this description uses only…
In this paper we study the liftability property for piecewise continuous maps of compact metric spaces, which admit inducing schemes in the sense of Pesin and Senti [PS05, PS06]. We show that under some natural assumptions on the inducing…
The Kantorovich exponential sampling series at jump discontinuities of the bounded measurable signal f has been analysed. A representation lemma for the series is established and using this lemma certain approximation theorems for…
The fundamental theorem on commutant lifting due to Sarason does not carry over to the setting of the polydisc. This paper presents two classifications of commutant lifting in several variables. The first classification links the lifting…
We are interested in the Wasserstein distance between two probability measures on $\R^n$ sharing the same copula $C$. The image of the probability measure $dC$ by the vectors of pseudo-inverses of marginal distributions is a natural…

Codensity monads provide a universal method to generate complex monads from simple functors. Recently, a wide range of important monads in logic, denotational semantics, and probabilistic computation, such as several incarnations of the…
