Manifold of probability measures: connections between two types of metrics

The space of probability measures could be viewed as an infinite-dimensional manifold, equipped with two possible types of metrics — (1) Wasserstein and (2) Fisher-Rao. Metric (1) is connected with ...

Controlling Mean Difference Between Product and Joint Distributions Using Optimal Transportation

Suppose we have nonindependent random variables $X \sim P$ and $Y \sim Q$, where $P$ and $Q$ denote their marginal distributions. We are interested in upper bounding $$ |\mathbf{E}_{X, Y\sim P \...

Tangent space and gradient on subspace of Wasserstein space given by finitely supported measures

Let $\mathcal{P}_2(M)$ be the 2-Wasserstein space over some Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ (connected, complete, and without boundary). Let $\mathcal{FP}_2(M,n)$ be the subspace of probability measures ...
