Abstract

These notes constitute a sort of Crash Course in Optimal Transport Theory. The different features of the problem of Monge-Kantorovitch are treated, starting from convex duality issues. The main properties of space of probability measures endowed with the distances WpW_p induced by optimal transport are detailed. The key tools to put in relation optimal transport and PDEs are provided.
