TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that transport inequalities, similar to the one derived by M. Talagrand (1996, Geom. Funct. Anal. 6, 587-600) for the Gaussian measure, are implied by logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

On Optimal Matching of Gaussian Samples

TL;DR: In this article, Ambrosio, Stra, and Trevisan showed that the left-hand side provides the correct order for some numerical constant C > 0, where W2 is the quadratic Kantorovich metric.

Human behavior and lognormal distribution. A kinetic description

TL;DR: In recent years, it has been increasing evidence that lognormal distributions are widespread in physical and biological sciences, as well as in various phenomena of economics and social sciences.

A characterization of dimension free concentration in terms of transportation inequalities

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a probability measure concentrates independently of the dimension like a gaussian measure if and only if it verifies Talagrand's transportation-cost inequality.

A curved brunn-minkowski inequality on the discrete hypercube, or: what is the ricci curvature of the discrete hypercube? ∗

TL;DR: This work compares two approaches to Ricci curvature on nonsmooth spaces in the case of the discrete hypercube and gets new results of a combinatorial and probabilistic nature, including a curved Brunn--Minkowski inequality on the discretehypercube.

ℒ-optimal transportation for Ricci flow

Peter M. Topping
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of L-optimal transportation was introduced and used to construct a natural monotonic quantity for Ricci flow which includes a selection of other monotonicity results, including some key discoveries of Perelman [13] (both related to entropy and to L-length).

Polar Factorization and Monotone Rearrangement of Vector-Valued Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for every vector-valued function u Lp(X, p; Rd) there is a unique polar factorization u = V$.s, where $ is a convex function defined on R and s is a measure-preserving mapping from (x, p) into (Q, I. I), provided that u is nondegenerate.

The geometry of dissipative evolution equations: the porous medium equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the porous medium equation has a gradient flow structure which is both physically and mathematically natural, and they use the intuition and the calculus of Riemannian geometry to quantify this asymptotic behavior.

Topological methods in hydrodynamics

TL;DR: A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics is proposed in this article, where the authors consider the hydrodynamic geometry of diffeomorphism groups and the principle of least action implies that the motion of a fluid is described by geodesics on the group in the right-invariant Riemannian metric given by the kinetic energy.
