Wasserstein distance and Monge-Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality
The definition of Wasserstein $p$-distance between two measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on a Polish space $X$ is given by
$$
W_p(\mu, \nu)^p = \inf_{\gamma \in \Pi(\mu, \nu)} \int_{X \times X} d(x, y)^p\; d\...

Can we control the Wasserstein metric between $\mu$ and $\nu$ by their moment difference?
Fix $p \in [1, \infty)$. Let $(\mathcal P_p(\mathbb R^d), W_p)$ be the Wasserstein space of all Borel probability measures on $\mathbb R^d$ with finite $p$-th moment. Let $D_p$ be the collection of ...

Path-homotopy in Wasserstein space
Consider two vector fields $b_0,b_1\in C^2([0,1]\times\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)$ and the solutions $\rho_0,\rho_1\in AC([0,1];\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d))$ to the associated Fokker-Planck equations
$$...

Any useful bases for the topology induced by the $t$-Wasserstein distance?
I am working on $\mathbb R ^d$ equipped with the usual Euclidean metric. I know of one nice base for $\mathcal W _t$, namely: $$\left\{ B_p (r) : r>0, p=\sum_{i=1} ^n \alpha_i \delta_{x_i},\text{ ...

Some stability and estimate of the optimal transport map (Brenier map)
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures with finite moments (in $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R})$) equipped with 2-Wasserstein distance. Let $F_\mu$, $F_\nu$ be their cumulative distribution ...
