Derivative of Wasserstein distance $W^p_p$ along solutions of the continuity equation (contradicting statements in different sources)
Let $(\rho^{(i)}_t,{\bf v}^{(i)}_t)$ for $i = 1,2$ be two solutions of the continuity equation $$\partial \rho^{(i)}_t + \nabla\cdot \left({\bf v}^{(i)}_t \rho^{(i)}_t\right) = 0 \label{1}\tag{1}$$ on ...

The uniqueness of Barycenters in the Wasserstein space
I am reading the paper Barycenters in the Wasserstein space by Martial Agueh and Guillaume Carlier. In Proposition 3.5, they prove the existence and uniqueness of
