The stability of solutions to optimal transport problems under variation of the measures is fundamental from a mathematical viewpoint: it is closely related to the convergence of numerical approaches to solve optimal transport problems and…
In compact settings, the convergence rate of the empirical optimal transport cost to its population value is well understood for a wide class of spaces and cost functions. In unbounded settings, however, hitherto available results require…
We prove a central limit theorem for the entropic transportation cost between subgaussian probability measures, centered at the population cost. This is the first result which allows for asymptotically valid inference for entropic optimal…
We study the entropic regularization of the optimal transport problem in dimension 1 when the cost function is the distance c(x, y) = |y -- x|. The selected plan at the limit is, among those which are optimal for the non-penalized problem,…
The diffeomorphic registration framework enables to define an optimal matching function between two probability measures with respect to a data-fidelity loss function. The non convexity of the optimization problem renders the choice of this…
We analyze optimal transport problems with additional entropic cost evaluated along curves in the Wasserstein space which join two probability measures $m_0,m_1$. The effect of the additional entropy functional results into an elliptic…
Suppose that $c(x,y)$ is the cost of transporting a unit of mass from $x\in X$ to $y\in Y$ and suppose that a mass distribution $\mu$ on $X$ is transported optimally (so that the total cost of transportation is minimal) to the mass…

We prove results relating the theory of optimal transport and generalized Ricci flow. We define an adapted cost functional for measures using a solution of the associated dilaton flow. This determines a formal notion of geodesics in the…
The classical problem of optimal transportation can be formulated as a linear optimization problem on a convex domain: among all joint measures with fixed marginals find the optimal one, where optimality is measured against a cost function.…
Estimating optimal transport (OT) maps (a.k.a. Monge maps) between two measures $P$ and $Q$ is a problem fraught with computational and statistical challenges. A promising approach lies in using the dual potential functions obtained when…
Optimal transport induces the Earth Mover's (Wasserstein) distance between probability distributions, a geometric divergence that is relevant to a wide range of problems. Over the last decade, two relaxations of optimal transport have been…
We define and discuss the properties of a class of cost functions on the sphere which we term defective cost functions. We then discuss how to extend these definitions and some properties to cost functions defined on Euclidean space and on…
We consider regularised quadratic optimal transport with subquadratic polynomial or entropic regularisation. In both cases, we prove interior Lipschitz-estimates on a transport-like map and interior gradient Lipschitz-estimates on the…
In this paper, we study the optimal transport problem induced by separable cost functions. In this framework, transportation can be expressed as the composition of two lower-dimensional movements. Through this reformulation, we prove that…
We study the regularity properties of the minimisers of entropic optimal transport providing a natural analogue of the $\varepsilon$-regularity theory of quadratic optimal transport in the entropic setting. More precisely, we show that if…
