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'...

Ideas on how to prove Pythagorean identity involving Wasserstein distances?

I conjectured earlier that if $P$ and $Q$ were two probability measures, then we could show $$W^2(P,Q) = \min_{T} [d^2(P,T_{\#}P) + W^2(T_{\#}P,Q)]$$ where $W^2(P,Q)$ denotes the squared Wasserstein-2 ...

Parametric distances on product spaces of measures

Disclaimer: Please excuse my loose language. I'm neither an expert in geometry nor probability. Please ask for clarification if something appears unclear or awkward to you. Let $X$ be a topological ...
