This work studies the entropic regularization formulation of the 2-Wasserstein distance on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, in particular for the Gaussian setting. We first present the Minimum Mutual Information property, namely the…
A natural generalization of Krein's theorem to a pair of commuting tuples $\left(H_1^0,H_2^0\right)$ and $\left(H_1,H_2\right)$ of bounded self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $H_j-H_j^0 = V_j\in…
We investigate maximal abelian subalgebras (masas) in separably acting type $II_1$ factors. We use the notion of distance between masas which we introduced in an earlier paper in this archive, OA/0107075. The main result of the paper is to…
An estimate on the number of distinct relative periodic orbits around a stable relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetry is given. This result constitutes a generalization to the Hamiltonian symmetric framework…
In this work we study a version of the general question of how well a Haar distributed orthogonal matrix can be approximated by a random gaussian matrix. Here, we consider a gaussian random matrix $Y_n$ of order $n$ and apply to it the…
In the infinite regular tree $\mathbb{T}_{q+1}$ with $q \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 2}$, we consider families $\{\mu_u^n\}$, indexed by vertices $u$ and nonnegative integers ("discrete time steps") $n$, of probability measures such that $\mu_u^n(v)…
We prove that if $u\in C^0(B_1)$ satisfies $F(x,D^2u) \le 0$ in $B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, in the viscosity sense, for some fully nonlinear $(\lambda, \Lambda)$-elliptic operator, then $u \in W^{2,\varepsilon}(B_{1/2})$, with appropriate…
We prove an inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^2$-norm for maps $G\to\mathcal M$ from an countable, discrete, amenable group $G$ into a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ equipped with an ultraweakly lower semi-continuous, unitarily invariant…
We study the distances between the unitary orbits of matrix amplifications of elements in certain C*-algebras. In particular, we show that the distance between unitary orbits of arbitrary elements in unital, separable, UHF-stable…
A famous question of Halmos asks whether every operator on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a norm limit of reducible operators. In [30], Voiculescu gave this problem an affirmative answer by his remarkable non-commutative…
We are interested in the Wasserstein distance between two probability measures on $\R^n$ sharing the same copula $C$. The image of the probability measure $dC$ by the vectors of pseudo-inverses of marginal distributions is a natural…
Given a determinate (multivariate) probability measure $\mu$, we characterize Gaussian mixtures $\nu\_\phi$ which minimize the Wasserstein distance $W\_2(\mu,\nu\_\phi)$ to $\mu$ when the mixing probability measure $\phi$ on the parameters…
Given a representation of a unimodular locally compact group, we discuss criteria for associated coherent state expansions in terms of the commuting algebra. It turns out that for those representations that admit such expansions there…
We consider tracial stability, which requires that tuples of elements of a C*-algebra with a trace that nearly satisfy the relation are close to tuples that actually satisfy the relation. Here both "near" and "close" are in terms of the…
Using the dual formulation only, we show that the regularity of unbalanced optimal transport also called entropy-transport inherits from the regularity of standard optimal transport. We provide detailed examples of Riemannian manifolds and…
Let g be an analytic function on the open unit disc U such that g(U) is contained in U, and let h be an analytic function on U such that the weighted composition operator W_{h,g) defined by W_{h,g}f = h f(g) is bounded on the Hardy space…
We view ultrametric spaces as two-sorted structures consisting of a set of points and of a linearly ordered set of distances. We call the appropriate notion of embeddings distance-carrying (dc for short). Those are obtained by combining…
Building on results of Haagerup and Schultz, we decompose an arbitrary operator in a diffuse, finite von Neumann algebra into the sum of a normal operator and an s.o.t.-quasinilpotent operator. We also prove an analogue of Weyl's inequality…
We present a new method for computing orbits in the perturbed two-body problem: the position and velocity vectors of the propagated object in Cartesian coordinates are replaced by eight orbital elements, i.e., constants of the unperturbed…
The Wasserstein distances $W_p$ ($p\geq 1$), defined in terms of solution to the Monge-Kantorovich problem, are known to be a useful tool to investigate transport equations. In particular, the Benamou-Brenier formula characterizes the…
