TRANSPORT
• The modern core of the Monge–Kantorovich theory,
built from the eighties to now
• Simplified statements
• Reference: [oldnew, Chap. 4, 5, 10]The Kantorovich problem (Kantorovich, 1942)
• X,Y two Polish (= metric separable complete) spaces
• ∈P(X), ν ∈P(Y)

• c∈C(X ×Y;R), c≥ c∈L ()+L (ν)

Prop: Infimum achieved by compactness of Π(;ν)
In the sequel, assume infimum is finiteProbabilistic version

Given the initial and final distributions, transport
matter at lowest possible costThe Monge problem (Monge, 1781)
Assume π = (Id,T) =(dx)δ
# y=T(x)
−→ belongs to Π(;ν) iff T =ν

=⇒ the Kantorovich problem becomes

(M) inf c(x,T(x))(dx) = inf Ec(X,T(X))
T =ν

• Interpretation: Don’t split mass! Y =T(X)
• No compactness =⇒ not clear if infimum achieved
