We prove upper bounds on the $L^\infty$-Wasserstein distance from optimal transport between strongly log-concave probability densities and log-Lipschitz perturbations. In the simplest setting, such a bound amounts to a transport-information…

In this paper, we investigate the geodesic structure and the associated Kantorovich-type duality for a Benamou-Brenier-type transportation metric defined on the space of nonnegative measures over a finite reversible Markov chain. The metric…

We show that the quadratic transportation cost inequality $T_2$ is equivalent to both a Poincar\'e inequality and a strong form of the Gaussian concentration property. The main ingredient in the proof is a new family of inequalities, called…

We consider a one dimensional transport model with nonlocal velocity given by the Hilbert transform and develop a global well-posedness theory of probability measure solutions. Both the viscous and non-viscous cases are analyzed. Both in…

Given a finitely generated amenable group we consider ergodic random Schr\"odinger operators on a Cayley graph with random potentials and random boundary conditions. We show that the normalised eigenvalue counting functions of finite volume…

Although optimal transport (OT) problems admit closed form solutions in a very few notable cases, e.g. in 1D or between Gaussians, these closed forms have proved extremely fecund for practitioners to define tools inspired from the OT…

We extend the dimension free Talagrand inequalities for convex distance \cite{talagrand:1995} using an extension of Marton's weak transport \cite{marton:1996a} to other metrics than the Hamming distance. We study the dual form of these weak…

We study the Optimal Transport problem for laws of random measures in the Kantorovich-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathcal{P}_2(\mathrm{H}))$, associated with a Hilbert space $\mathrm{H}$ (with finite or infinite dimension) and for the…

We derive distributional limits for empirical transport distances between probability measures supported on countable sets. Our approach is based on sensitivity analysis of optimal values of infinite dimensional mathematical programs and a…

We explore the question of finiteness of the entanglement entropy in gravitational theories whose emergent space is the target space of a holographic dual. In the well studied duality of two-dimensional non-critical string theory and $c=1$…

We prove that the transport of any differentiable scalar observable in $d$-dimensional non-equilibrium systems is bounded from above by the total entropy production scaled by the amount the observation "stretches" microscopic coordinates.…

We study the spherical cap packing problem with a probabilistic approach. Such probabilistic considerations result in an asymptotic sharp universal uniform bound on the maximal inner product between any set of unit vectors and a…

We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…

The paper is devoted to the geometry of transportation cost spaces and their generalizations introduced by Melleray, Petrov, and Vershik (2008). Transportation cost spaces are also known as Arens-Eells, Lipschitz-free, or Wasserstein $1$…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, be a compact convex set and let $\mu = \varrho_0 dx$ be a probability measure on $A$ equivalent to the restriction of Lebesgue measure. Let $\nu = \varrho_1 dx$ be a probability measure on $B_r :=…

Flexible Bayesian models are typically constructed using limits of large parametric models with a multitude of parameters that are often uninterpretable. In this article, we offer a novel alternative by constructing an exponentially tilted…
