In this work we prove that the unique 1-convex solution of the Monge problem contructed from the solution of the Monge-Kantorovitch problem between the Wiener measure and a target measure which has a log-concave density w.r.to the Wiener…

Generative models inspired by dynamical transport of measure -- such as flows and diffusions -- construct a continuous-time map between two probability densities. Conventionally, one of these is the target density, only accessible through…

In many inverse problems, model parameters cannot be precisely determined from observational data. Bayesian inference provides a mechanism for capturing the resulting parameter uncertainty, but typically at a high computational cost. This…

Mixture of experts (MoE) models are widely applied for conditional probability density estimation problems. We demonstrate the richness of the class of MoE models by proving denseness results in Lebesgue spaces, when inputs and outputs…

We present a range of applications of localisation for constrained transports for pairs of probability measures in order with respect to a lattice cone. These examples comprise irreducible convex paving for martingale transports in…

We construct solutions to Monge-Amp\`ere equations whose Monge-Amp\`ere measures contain singular components supported on low codimensional sets. We also study the regularity of such solutions. To motivate our construction, we present…

The origins of the large differences observed to the rates with which the diverse particles are conveyed along axonal microtubules are still a matter of debate in the literature. There is evidence that certain neurodegenerative diseases may…

We introduce a new non-linear optimal transport formulation for a pair of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ sharing a common barycentre, in which admissible transference plans satisfy two martingale-type constraints. This bi-martingale…

Some parts of stochastic analysis on curved spaces are revisted. A concise proof of the quasi-invariance of the Wiener measure on the path spaces over a Riemannian manifold is presented. The shifts are allowed to be in the Cameron-Martin…

It is shown that continuous causal isomorphisms on two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime can be characterized by the invariance of wave equations.

This tutorial provides a concise introduction to modern causal modeling by integrating potential outcomes and graphical methods. We motivate causal questions such as counterfactual reasoning under interventions and define binary treatments…

In this short note, we show that given a cost function $c$, any coupling $\pi$ of two probability measures where the second is a discrete measure can be associated to a certain bipartite graph containing a perfect matching, based on the…

We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dL is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X,dL) a non branching geodesic space. We show that under the assumption that geodesics are…

We analyze invariant measures of two coupled piecewise linear and everywhere expanding maps on the synchronization manifold. We observe that though the individual maps have simple and smooth functions as their stationary densities, they…

We consider the incorporation of causal knowledge about the presence or absence of (possibly indirect) causal relations into a causal model. Such causal relations correspond to directed paths in a causal model. This type of knowledge…
