Wasserstein bounds of interpolation measures

Assume we are given two densities, $p_0$ and $p_1$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and define (up to the normalization constant) the interpolation $p_t \propto p_0^{1-t} p_1^t$, which interpolates between $p_0$ ...

Construct a Bregman divergence from Wasserstein distance

I was wondering whether one has studied the Bregman divergence arising from a squared Wasserstein distance. More precisely, let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a compact set and $c\in \Omega\times \...

Wasserstein compactness of sublevel sets of relative entropy

Let $\mathcal{P}({\mathbb{R}^d})$ denote the set of Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $\pi \in \mathcal{P} (\mathbb{R}^d)$. It is known that the sets $\{ \mu \in \mathcal{P}(\...

Parameterization of exponential family

Let $\{\mathbb{P}_{\theta}\}_{\theta}$ be an exponential family of probability measures, all with finite mean. Under what conditions is the parameterization map $\theta\mapsto \mathbb{P}_{\theta}$ ...

Are there any results on concentration bounds of Wasserstein distances between empirical measures?

I know there are concentration bounds on $W(\mu,\hat{\mu})$ where $\mu$ and $\hat{\mu}$ are true and empirical distributions respectively, but is there anything out there on $W(\mu,\nu)$ versus $W(\...

Given iid samples from the joint distribution $P$ of pair of r.v.'s $(X,Y)$, how to get iid samples from independence coupling $P_X \otimes P_Y$?

Let $(X,Y)$ be a pair of random variables on a measure space $\mathcal T \subseteq \text{"subsets of }\mathbb R^2\text{"}$, with joint probability distribution $P$. We don't assume $X$ and $Y$ are ...

Comparison of Information and Wasserstein Topologies

There are many possible metrics one can place on the space of Gaussian probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$, with strictly positive definite co-variance matrices. Let's denote this space by $X$. I'...

Monotonicity, Convexity, and Smoothness of the KL-Divergence between Two Brownian Motions with Different Initializers

We consider the two distributions $$ p_t = p_0 * N(0, tI),\quad q_t = q_0 * N(0, t I), $$ where $*$ denotes the convolution between two densities, while $p_0$ and $q_0$ have the same mean and ...
