In this work we introduce the concept of Bures-Wasserstein barycenter $Q_*$, that is essentially a Fr\'echet mean of some distribution $\mathbb{P}$ supported on a subspace of positive semi-definite Hermitian operators $\mathbb{H}_{+}(d)$.…

We study the possibility of defining a distance on the whole space of measures, with the property that the distance between two measures having the same mass is the Wasserstein distance, up to a scaling factor. We prove that, under very…

The notion of barycentre graph is of crucial importance for machine learning algorithms that process graph-valued data. The barycentre graph is a "summary graph" that captures the mean topology and connectivity structure of a training…

We provide new bounds for the rate of convergence of the multivariate Central Limit Theorem in Wasserstein distances of order $p \geq 2$. In particular, we obtain what we conjecture to be the asymptotically optimal rate whenever the density…

Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…

We prove isometric rigidity for $p$-Wasserstein spaces over finite-dimensional tori and spheres for all $p$. We present a unified approach to proving rigidity that relies on the robust method of recovering measures from their Wasserstein…

We study the decentralized distributed computation of discrete approximations for the regularized Wasserstein barycenter of a finite set of continuous probability measures distributedly stored over a network. We assume there is a network of…

Randomness in financial markets requires modern and robust multivariate models of risk measures. This paper proposes a new approach for modeling multivariate risk measures under Wasserstein barycenters of probability measures supported on…

Graphs are fundamental tools for modeling pairwise interactions in complex systems. However, many real-world systems involve multi-way interactions that cannot be fully captured by standard graphs. Hypergraphs, which generalize graphs by…

We generalize the notion and theory of Wasserstein barycenters introduced by Agueh and Carlier (2011) from the quadratic cost to general smooth strictly convex costs $h$ with non-degenerate Hessian. We show the equivalence between a coupled…

The geometric tangent cone to a probability measure $\mu$ is a set of measure-valued applications that are almost geodesics. This is a nonlocal condition, typically lost when conditioning the measure on a given set. We show that if one…

In this article we study a variational problem providing a way to extend for all times minimizing geodesics connecting two given probability measures, in the Wasserstein space. This is simply obtained by allowing for negative coefficients…
