We prove the existence of minimizers of causal variational principles on second countable, locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Moreover, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are derived. The method is to first prove the existence of…

We construct new "virtually smooth" modular compactifications of spaces of maps from nonsingular curves to smooth projective toric varieties. They generalize Givental's compactifications, when the complex structure of the curve is allowed…

We show that the order on probability measures, inherited from the dominance order on the Young diagrams, is preserved under natural maps reducing the number of boxes in a diagram by $1$. As a corollary we give a new proof of the Thoma…

We adapt the concept of $\mathcal{K}-$convergence of Young measures to the sequences of approximate solutions resulting from numerical schemes. We obtain new results on pointwise convergence of numerical solutions in the case when solutions…

We prove that if $K$ is a compact space and the space $P(K\times K)$ of regular probability measures on $K\times K$ has countable tightness in its $weak^*$ topology, then $L_1(\mu)$ is separable for every $\mu\in P(K)$. It has been known…

In many scientific fields imaging is used to relate a certain physical quantity to other dependent variables. Therefore, images can be considered as a map from a real-world coordinate system to the non-negative measurements being acquired.…

The duality theory of the Monge--Kantorovich transport problem is analyzed in a general setting. The spaces $X, Y$ are assumed to be polish and equipped with Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. The transport cost function $c:X\times…

In this paper, we want to establish some general results in the Lorentzian optimal transport theory that have well-known Riemannian counterparts. As a first result, we will provide non-trivial assumptions on the measures to ensure strong…

In this paper, we will study the existence problem of minmax minimal torus. We use classical conformal invariant geometric variational methods. We prove a theorem about the existence of minmax minimal torus in Theorem 5.1. Firstly we prove…

We prove some theorems on the existence, uniqueness, stability and compactness properties of solutions to inhomogeneous transport equations with Sobolev coefficients, where the inhomogeneous term depends upon the solution through an…

This work presents a new proof of the recent characterization theorem for generalized Young measures generated by sequences in BV by Kristensen and the author [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 197 (2010), 539-598]. The present argument is based on…

We suggest a new way of defining optimal transport of positive-semidefinite matrix-valued measures. It is inspired by a recent rendering of the incompressible Euler equations and related conservative systems as concave maximization…

We will study variations in Sobolev spaces of optimal transport maps with the standard Gaussian measure as the reference measure. Some dimension free inequalities will be obtained. As application, we construct solutions to Monge-Ampere…
