Given a filtration of simplicial complexes, one usually applies persistent homology and summarizes the results in barcodes. Then, in order to extract statistical information from these barcodes, one needs to compute statistical indicators…
Wasserstein distance, especially among symmetric positive-definite matrices, has broad and deep influences on development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other branches of computer science. A natural idea is to describe the geometry of…
The convergence rate in Wasserstein distance is estimated for empirical measures of ergodic Markov processes, and the estimate can be sharp in some specific situations. The main result is applied to subordinations of typical models excluded…
The Wasserstein barycenter (WB) is an important tool for summarizing sets of probability measures. It finds applications in applied probability, clustering, image processing, etc. When the measures' supports are finite, computing a…
A Wasserstein spaces is a metric space of sufficiently concentrated probability measures over a general metric space. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the largeness of Wasserstein spaces, in a sense to be precised. In a first…
In this paper we provide a sufficient condition for a Furstenberg measure generated by a finitely supported measure to be absolutely continuous. Using this, we give a very broad class of examples of absolutely continuous Furstenberg…
We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of complete vertical graphs of constant mean curvature in the Hyperbolic and Steady State spaces. In the two-dimensional case we prove Bernstein-type results in each of these ambient spaces.
In many applications in statistics and machine learning, the availability of data samples from multiple possibly heterogeneous sources has become increasingly prevalent. On the other hand, in distributionally robust optimization, we seek…
Euler and Betti curves of stochastic processes defined on a $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which are almost surely in a Sobolev space $W^{n,s}(X,\mathbb{R})$ (with $d<n$) are stable under perturbations of the distributions of…
In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of the invariant distribution and for subgeometric rates of convergence in Wasserstein distance for general state-space Markov chains which are (possibly) not irreducible.…
A common feature of methods for analyzing samples of probability density functions is that they respect the geometry inherent to the space of densities. Once a metric is specified for this space, the Fr\'echet mean is typically used to…
We extend the result of Lisini (Calc Var Partial Differ Equ 28:85-120, 2007) on the superposition principle for absolutely continuous curves in $p$-Wasserstein spaces to the special case of $p=1$. In contrast to the case of $p>1$, it is not…
Entropy regularization in optimal transport (OT) has been the driver of many recent interests for Wasserstein metrics and barycenters in machine learning. It allows to keep the appealing geometrical properties of the unregularized…
In this paper, we investigate properties of entropy-penalized Wasserstein barycenters introduced by Bigot, Cazelles and Papadakis (2019) as a regularization of Wasserstein barycenters first presented by Agueh and Carlier (2011). After…
We introduce a class of flows on the Wasserstein space of probability measures with finite first moment on the Cartan-Hadamard Riemannian manifold of positive definite matrices, and consider the problem of differentiability of the…
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 study the $L^q$-regularity of the density of barycenters of $N$ probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to the $p$-Wasserstein metric ($1<p<\infty$). According to a previous result by the first author and collaborators, if…
Persistence diagrams, an important summary in topological data analysis, consist of a set of ordered pairs, each with positive multiplicity. Persistence diagrams are obtained via Mobius inversion and may be compared using a one-parameter…

Let $(X_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ denote a Markov chain on a Polish space that has a stationary distribution $\varpi$. This article concerns upper bounds on the Wasserstein distance between the distribution of $X_n$ and $\varpi$. In particular, an…
