Connection between Wassertein-2 metric and difference in variance
Given two probability densities $\mu\in\mathcal P(\mathbb R^d)$ and $\nu\in\mathcal P(\mathbb R^d)$, we define their Wasserstein-$p$ metric as
$$
W_p^p(\mu, \nu)=\inf_{\gamma\in \Gamma(\mu, \nu)}\int_{...

Modifiying a sequence of measures to assign a certain value when integrating a fixed function?
Let $f:\mathbb R ^d\to \mathbb R$ be some continuous function, $|f|\leq A(1+|x|)$, where $|\cdot|$ denotes the usual Euclidean norm. Fix a measure $\mu$ and constant $C$.
Assume that $\mu_n$ is a ...

Any useful bases for the topology induced by the $t$-Wasserstein distance?
I am working on $\mathbb R ^d$ equipped with the usual Euclidean metric. I know of one nice base for $\mathcal W _t$, namely: $$\left\{ B_p (r) : r>0, p=\sum_{i=1} ^n \alpha_i \delta_{x_i},\text{ ...

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)$...
