A classical result of Strassen asserts that given probabilities $\mu, \nu$ on the real line which are in convex order, there exists a \emph{martingale coupling} with these marginals, i.e.\ a random vector $(X_1,X_2)$ such that $X_1\sim \mu,…

We study the structural properties of multi-period martingale optimal transport (MOT). We develop new tools to address these problems, and use them to prove several uniqueness and structural results on three-period martingale optimal…

Quantization provides a very natural way to preserve the convex order when approximating two ordered probability measures by two finitely supported ones. Indeed, when the convex order dominating original probability measure is compactly…

We give a characterization of optimal transport plans for a variant of the usual quadratic transport cost introduced in [33]. Optimal plans are composition of a deterministic transport given by the gradient of a continuously differentiable…

Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ in "convex order" on $\R^d$, we study the profile of one-step martingale plans $\pi$ on $\R^d\times \R^d$ that optimize the expected value of the modulus of their increment among all…

Our main result is to establish stability of martingale couplings: suppose that $\pi$ is a martingale coupling with marginals $\mu, \nu$. Then, given approximating marginal measures $\tilde \mu \approx \mu, \tilde \nu\approx \nu$ in convex…
