We study Monge-Amp\`ere gravity (MAG) as an effective theory of cosmological structure formation through optimal transport theory. MAG is based on the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, a nonlinear version of the Poisson equation, that relates the…
Monge-Amp\`ere gravitation is a modification of the classical Newtonian gravitation where the linear Poisson equation is replaced by the nonlinear Monge-Amp\`ere equation. This paper is concerned with the rigorous derivation of…
Monge-Ampere gravitation is a nonlinear modification of classical Newtonian gravitation, when the Monge-Ampere equation substitutes for the Poisson equation. We establish, through two applications of the large deviation principle, that the…
This paper introduces a fast and robust iterative scheme for the elliptic Monge-Amp\`ere equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The Monge-Amp\`ere equation is a nonlinear and degenerate equation, with applications in optimal…
The Monge-Amp\`ere gravitation theory (MAG) was introduced by Brenier in 2011 to obtain an approximate solution of the early Universe reconstruction problem. It is a modification of Newtonian gravitation which is based on quadratic optimal…
The Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation arises in the theory of optimal transport. When more complicated cost functions are involved in the optimal transportation problem, which are motivated e.g. from economics, the corresponding equation for the…
We identify a novel connection between a recently introduced pseudo-Riemannian framework for optimal mass transport and the geometry of Monge-Amp\`ere equations. We show this correspondence by application to an example from geophysical…
The problem of optimal mass transport arises in numerous applications including image registration, mesh generation, reflector design, and astrophysics. One approach to solving this problem is via the Monge-Amp\`ere equation. While recent…
We survey the (old and new) regularity theory for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, show its connection to optimal transportation, and describe the regularity properties of a general class of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations arising in that…
In this paper we consider Monge-Amp\`ere equations on compact Hessian manifolds, or equivalently Monge-Amp\`ere equations on certain unbounded convex domains $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, with a periodicity constraint given by the action…
This paper is about quantitative linearization results for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation with rough data. We develop a large-scale regularity theory and prove that if a measure $\mu$ is close to the Lebesgue measure in Wasserstein distance at…
The modified newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm of Milgrom can boast of a number of successful predictions regarding galactic dynamics; these are made without the assumption that dark matter plays a significant role. MOND requires…
The classes of Monge-Amp\`ere systems, decomposable and bi-decomposable Monge-Amp\`ere systems, including equations for improper affine spheres and hypersurfaces of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature are introduced. They are studied by the…
We consider a classical field theory whose equations of motion follow from the least action principle, but the class of admissible trajectories is restricted by differential equations. The key element of the proposed construction is the…
This paper is concerned with developing and analyzing convergent semi-Lagrangian methods for the fully nonlinear elliptic Monge-Amp\`ere equation on general triangular grids. This is done by establishing an equivalent (in the viscosity…
The aim of this paper is to obtain quantitative bounds for solutions to the optimal matching problem in dimension two. These bounds show that up to a logarithmically divergent shift, the optimal transport maps are close to be the identity…
We consider the non-relativistic limit of general relativity coupled to a $(p+1)$-form gauge field and a scalar field in arbitrary dimensions and investigate under which conditions this gives rise to a Poisson equation for a Newton…
This paper describes recent results obtained in collaboration with M. Huesmann and F. Otto on the regularity of optimal transport maps. The main result is a quantitative version of the well-known fact that the linearization of the…
The optimal (Monge-Kantorovich) transportation problem is discussed from several points of view. The Lagrangian formulation extends the action of the {\em Lagrangian} $L(v,x,t)$ from the set of orbits in $\R^n$ to a set of measure-valued…
We revisit the problem of defining non-minimal gravity in the first order formalism. Specializing to scalar-tensor theories, which may be disguised as `higher-derivative' models with the gravitational Lagrangians that depend only on the…
