Abstract
The optimal weak transport problem has recently been introduced by Gozlan et al. (J Funct Anal 273(11):3327–3405, 2017). We provide general existence and duality results for these problems on arbitrary Polish spaces, as well as a necessary and sufficient optimality criterion in the spirit of cyclical monotonicity. As an application we extend the Brenier–Strassen Theorem of Gozlan and Juillet (On a mixture of brenier and strassen theorems. arXiv:1808.02681, 2018) to general probability measures on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ under minimal assumptions. A driving idea behind our proofs is to consider the set of transport plans with a new (‘adapted’) topology which seems better suited for the weak transport problem and allows to carry out arguments which are close to the proofs in the classical setup.

Adapted Wasserstein Distances and Stability in Mathematical Finance

TL;DR: In this paper, a suitable adapted version of the Wasserstein distance is proposed, which takes the temporal structure of pricing models into account, which allows to establish Lipschitz properties of hedging strategies for semimartingale models in discrete and continuous time.

On a mixture of brenier and strassen theorems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a characterization of optimal transport plans for a variant of the usual quadratic transport cost introduced in [33], where the optimal plans are composition of a deterministic transport given by the gradient of a continuously differentiable convex function followed by a martingale coupling.

Stability of martingale optimal transport and weak optimal transport.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a positive answer and establish stability of the martingale transport problem, and they also apply to the weak transport problem introduced by Gozlan, Roberto, Samson and Tetali.

Estimating processes in adapted Wasserstein distance

TL;DR: This article aims to construct an adapted variant of the empirical measure that consistently estimates the laws of stochastic processes in full generality, and yields quantitative bounds for the convergence of the adapted empirical measure with respect to adapted Wasserstein distance.

A weak convergence approach to the theory of large deviations

TL;DR: The Laplace Principle for the Random Walk Model with Discontinuous Statistics as mentioned in this paper has been extended to the continuous-time Markov Processes with continuous statistics, and the Laplace principle has been used for the continuous time Markov Chain model as well.

Concentration of measure and isoperimetric inequalities in product spaces

TL;DR: The concentration of measure phenomenon in product spaces roughly states that, if a set A in a product ΩN of probability spaces has measure at least one half, "most" of the points of Ωn are "close" to A as mentioned in this paper.

The geometry of optimal transportation

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of optimal maps are discussed. But the uniqueness of the optimal map is not discussed. And the role of the map in finding the optimal solution is left open.
