Transportation-cost inequality for pushforward measure

Let $X=(X,d_X)$ and $Y=(X,d_Y)$ be metric spaces and $\varphi: X\rightarrow Y$ be an $L$-Lipschitz map, with $0 \le L < \infty$. Suppose $\mu$ is a probability measure on $X$ which satisfies ...

Example where concentration of measure fails nontrivially

A metric probability space $(X, \mu, \rho)$, i.e., a complete separable metric space with a probability measure on its Borel sets, is said to satisfy (Gaussian) concentration of measure property if ...

Prove or disprove that $u=0$ a.e. on $\Bbb R^d$

Let $\Omega\subset\Bbb R^d$ be an open set. Let $k:\Bbb R^d\to [0,\infty)$ be measurable such that $0\in \operatorname{supp}k$. This implies that $\Omega\subset \Omega_k=\Omega+\operatorname{supp}k$. ...

(Novel?) notion of concentration/dispersion

Consider the measurable space $(\Omega,\mathscr{B})$ endowed with two positive measures: a "volume $\nu$" and a probability measure $\mu$. For example, one might take $\Omega=\mathbb{R}^n$ (with the ...
