We define new differential structures on the Wasserstein spaces $\mathcal{W}_p(M)$ for $p > 2$ and a general Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We consider a very general and possibly degenerate second order partial differential flow equation…

Random measures provide flexible parameters for Bayesian nonparametric models. Given two different priors for a random measure, we develop a natural framework to investigate the rate at which the corresponding posteriors merge, as the…

We consider the fully-coupled McKean-Vlasov equation with multi-time-scale potentials, and all the coefficients depend on the distributions of both the slow component and the fast motion. By studying the smoothness of the solution of the…

In the study of dynamical and physical systems, the input parameters are often uncertain or randomly distributed according to a measure $\varrho$. The system's response $f$ pushes forward $\varrho$ to a new measure $f\circ \varrho$ which we…

The convergence rate in Wasserstein distance is estimated for the empirical measures of symmetric semilinear SPDEs. Unlike in the finite-dimensional case that the convergence is of algebraic order in time, in the present situation the…

We derive central limit theorems for the Wasserstein distance between the empirical distributions of Gaussian samples. The cases are distinguished whether the underlying laws are the same or different. Results are based on the (quadratic)…
