This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…

Inspired by the recent theory of Entropy-Transport problems and by the $\mathbf{D}$-distance of Sturm on normalised metric measure spaces, we define a new class of complete and separable distances between metric measure spaces of possibly…

We show that, for a separable and complete metric space $M$, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal F(M)$ embeds linearly and almost-isometrically into $\ell_1$ if and only if $M$ is a subset of an $\mathbb R$-tree with length measure 0.…

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…

The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…

We characterize compact metric spaces whose locally flat Lipschitz functions separate points uniformly as exactly those that are purely 1-unrectifiable, resolving a problem of Weaver. We subsequently use this geometric characterization to…

Fix an integer $r\geq 3$. We consider metric spaces on $n$ points such that the distance between any two points lies in $\{1,..., r\}$. Our main result describes their approximate structure for large $n$. As a consequence, we show that the…
