We introduce the notion of pseudo-cones of metric spaces as a generalization of both of the tangent cones and the asymptotic cones. We prove that the Assouad dimension of a metric space is bounded from below by that of any pseudo-cone of…

Two recent works, Avella-Medina and Gonz\'alez-Sanz (2026) and Passeggeri and Paindaveine (2026), studied the robustness of the optimal transport map through its breakdown point, i.e., the smallest fraction of contamination that can make…

In this paper we propose a gauge-theoretic approach to the problems of optimal mass transport for vector and matrix densities. This resolves both the issues of positivity and action transitivity constraints. Bures-type metrics on the…

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…

The Foucault pendulum is shown to be an example of motion on a pseudo-surface, and the consequences of that are explored. In particular, its first and second fundamental forms are obtained, as well as its Gaussian and mean curvatures and…

Semi-discrete transport can be characterized in terms of real-valued shifts. Often, but not always, the solution to the shift-characterized problem partitions the continuous region. This paper gives examples of when partitioning fails, and…

We give a new and constructive proof of the existence of global-in-time weak solutions of the 3-dimensional incompressible semi-geostrophic equations (SG) in geostrophic coordinates, for arbitrary initial measures with compact support. This…

We present the fundamentals of a measure transport approach to sampling. The idea is to construct a deterministic coupling---i.e., a transport map---between a complex "target" probability measure of interest and a simpler reference measure.…

We rephrase Monge's optimal transportation (OT) problem with quadratic cost--via a Monge-Amp\`ere equation--as an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, which is in fact a convex problem when the target is a log-concave measure with…
