In this paper we give sufficient conditions for the almost sure central limit theorem started at a point, known under the name of quenched central limit theorem. This is achieved by using a new idea of conditioning with respect to both the…

We develop a theory of optimal transport relative to a distinguished subset, which acts as a reservoir of mass, allowing us to compare measures of different total variation. This relative transportation problem has an optimal solution and…

A new pairwise cost function is proposed for the optimal transport barycenter problem, adopting the form of the minimal action between two points, with a Lagrangian that takes into account an underlying probability distribution. Under this…

We develop a full theory for the new class of Optimal Entropy-Transport problems between nonnegative and finite Radon measures in general topological spaces. They arise quite naturally by relaxing the marginal constraints typical of Optimal…

This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…

We address the problem of proving a Central Limit Theorem for the empirical optimal transport cost, $\sqrt{n}\{\mathcal{T}_c(P_n,Q)-\mathcal{W}_c(P,Q)\}$, in the semi discrete case, i.e when the distribution $P$ is finitely supported. We…

The article begins with a quantitative version of the martingale central limit theorem, in terms of the Kantorovich distance. This result is then used in the study of the homogenization of discrete parabolic equations with random i.i.d.…

We study solutions to the multi-marginal Monge-Kantorovich problem which are concentrated on several graphs over the first marginal. We first present two general conditions on the cost function which ensure, respectively, that any solution…

In this paper we consider the mass transport problem in the case of a relativistic cost; we can establish the continuity of the total cost, together with a general estimate about the directions in which the mass can actually move, under…

We prove a central limit theorem for a sequence of random variables whose means are ambiguous and vary in an unstructured way. Their joint distribution is described by a set of measures. The limit is (not the normal distribution and is)…

We consider optimal transport problems where the cost for transporting a given probability measure $\mu_0$ to another one $\mu_1$ consists of two parts: the first one measures the transportation from $\mu_0$ to an intermediate (pivot)…
