Tangent space and gradient on subspace of Wasserstein space given by finitely supported measures

Let $\mathcal{P}_2(M)$ be the 2-Wasserstein space over some Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ (connected, complete, and without boundary). Let $\mathcal{FP}_2(M,n)$ be the subspace of probability measures ...

Are 1-Wasserstein and 2-Wasserstein distances between multivariate normal distributions equivalent?

The $p$-Wasserstein between two measures $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ on $X$ is given by $$W^p_p(\nu_{1},\nu_{2})=\underset{\pi\in\Gamma(\nu_{1},\nu_{2})}{\inf}\int_{\mathbf{\mathcal{X}}^{2}}d(x,y)^p\pi(dx,dy)$...

Metrics on the space of distributions in terms of p.d.fs

If two probability distributions (on the same measure space) are s.t they have p.d.fs and the $L^1$ distance between the p.d.f.s is large, then is there a choice of a ``nice" metric $d_{\rm ...
