This short paper announces the main results of \cite{SBB2026}, where the Schr\"odinger--Bass Bridge (SBB) problem is introduced and studied in full generality. Here we provide a direct PDE derivation of the SBB system in dimension one,…

We study the Schr\"odinger-Bass problem, a one-parameter family of semimartingale optimal transport problems indexed by $\beta>0$, whose limiting regimes interpolate between the classical Schr\"odinger bridge, the Brenier-Strassen problem,…

The \emph{Schr\"odinger problem} is obtained by replacing the mean square distance with the relative entropy in the Monge-Kantorovich problem. It was first addressed by Schr\"odinger as the problem of describing the most likely evolution of…

The Schr\"odinger bridge problem is concerned with finding a stochastic dynamical system bridging two marginal distributions that minimises a certain transportation cost. This problem, which represents a generalisation of optimal transport…

This paper introduces a dynamic formulation of divergence-regularized optimal transport with weak targets on the path space. In our formulation, the classical relative entropy penalty is replaced by a general convex divergence, and terminal…
