For probability measures on a complete separable metric space, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Kantorovich transportation problem. We also obtain sufficient conditions (which sometimes also become…
An analogue of the quadratic Wasserstein (or Monge-Kantorovich) distance between Borel probability measures on $\mathbf{R}^d$ has been defined in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul: Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2015), 165-205] for density operators…
We study optimal transport between probability measures supported on the same finite metric space, where the ground cost is a distance induced by a weighted connected graph. Building on recent work showing that the resulting Kantorovich…
We consider probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ and study optimal transportation mappings for the case of infinite Kantorovich distance. Our examples include 1) quasi-product measures, 2) measures with certain symmetric…
Sensitivity properties describe how changes to the input of a program affect the output, typically by upper bounding the distance between the outputs of two runs by a monotone function of the distance between the corresponding inputs. When…
Kantorovich distance (or 1-Wasserstein distance) on the probability simplex of a finite metric space is the value of a Linear Programming problem for which a closed-form expression is known in some cases. When the ground distance is defined…
The aim of the present paper is to extend Kantorovich's mass transport problem to the framework of upper/lower continuous capacities and to prove the cyclic monotonicity of the supports of optimal supermodular plans. As in the probabilistic…
Many results in probability (most famously, Strassen's theorem on stochastic domination), characterize some relationship between probability distributions in terms of the existence of a particular structured coupling between them. Optimal…
We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
The Cram\'er-Wold device characterises weak convergence of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ through convergence of all one-dimensional projected laws. We prove that, if the target projected laws are moment-determinate for…
We prove quantitative bounds on the stability of optimal transport maps and Kantorovich potentials from a fixed source measure $\rho$ under variations of the target measure $\mu$, when the cost function is the squared Riemannian distance on…
This paper studies best finitely supported approximations of one-dimensional probability measures with respect to the $L^r$-Kantorovich (or transport) distance, where either the locations or the weights of the approximations' atoms are…
In this article, we define the transport dimension of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^m$ using ramified optimal transportation theory. We show that the transport dimension of a probability measure is bounded above by the Minkowski…
A representation for the Kantorovich--Rubinstein distance between probability measures on an abstract Wiener space in terms of the extended stochastic integral (or, divergence) operator is obtained.
We consider dynamical transport metrics for probability measures on discretisations of a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. These metrics are natural discrete counterparts to the Kantorovich metric $\mathbb{W}_2$, defined using a…
Multivariate discrete probability laws are considered. We show that such laws are quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if their characteristic functions are separated from zero. We generalize the existing results for the univariate…
We introduce a new class of distances between nonnegative Radon measures in Euclidean spaces. They are modeled on the dynamical characterization of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein distances proposed by Benamou-Brenier and provide a…
We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…
We show how a Cram\'er-Wold theorem for a family of multivariate probability distributions can be used to generate a similar theorem for mixtures (convex combinations) of distributions drawn from the same family. Using this abstract result,…
