Compactness of the unit ball in the space of Radon measures w.r.t. the Kantorovich-Rubinstein norm

This question was posted previously but has not attracted any responses so I am repharising it in a slightly different language hoping to reach a wider community Let $(X,d)$ be a pointed metric space ...

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 ...

Closure of finite support measures in the Wasserstein metric

This is a follow-up question to this question: Closure Wasserstein for pointmasses Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space, and let $W_1(X)$ be the space of probability measures $\mu$ on $X$ having finite first ...

Simplify Kantorovich–Rubinstein duality when distributions share a common marginal

Consider the product of two metric spaces $X\times Y$, and two probability distributions $\mu$ and $\nu$ on this product space. By the Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality, I can write the Wasserstein-1-...

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{ ...
