In this paper, we consider Strassens version of optimal transport (OT) problem. That is, we minimize the excess-cost probability (i.e., the probability that the cost is larger than a given value) over all couplings of two given distributions. We derive large deviation, moderate deviation, and central limit theorems for this problem. Our proof is based on Strassens dual formulation of the OT problem, Sanovs theorem on the large deviation principle (LDP) of empirical measures, as well as the moderate deviation principle (MDP) and central limit theorems (CLT) of empirical measures. In order to apply the LDP, MDP, and CLT to Strassens OT problem, two nested optimal transport formulas for Strassens OT problem are derived. Based on these nested formulas and using a splitting technique, we carefully design asymptotically optimal solutions to Strassens OT problem and its dual formulation.

We elaborate the notion of a Ricci curvature lower bound for parametrized statistical models. Following the seminal ideas of Lott-Strum-Villani, we define this notion based on the geodesic convexity of the Kullback-Leibler divergence in a Wasserstein statistical manifold, that is, a manifold of probability distributions endowed with a Wasserstein metric tensor structure. Within these definitions, the Ricci curvature is related to both, information geometry and Wasserstein geometry. These definitions allow us to formulate bounds on the convergence rate of Wasserstein gradient flows and information functional inequalities in parameter space. We discuss examples of Ricci curvature lower bounds and convergence rates in exponential family models.
We study a natural Wasserstein gradient flow on manifolds of probability distributions with discrete sample spaces. We derive the Riemannian structure for the probability simplex from the dynamical formulation of the Wasserstein distance on a weighted graph. We pull back the geometric structure to the parameter space of any given probability model, which allows us to define a natural gradient flow there. In contrast to the natural Fisher-Rao gradient, the natural Wasserstein gradient incorporates a ground metric on sample space. We illustrate the analysis of elementary exponential family examples and demonstrate an application of the Wasserstein natural gradient to maximum likelihood estimation.
While many questions in (robust) finance can be posed in the martingale optimal transport (MOT) framework, others require to consider also non-linear cost functionals. Following the terminology of Gozlan, Roberto, Samson and Tetali this corresponds to weak martingale optimal transport (WMOT). In this article we establish stability of WMOT which is important since financial data can give only imprecise information on the underlying marginals. As application, we deduce the stability of the superreplication bound for VIX futures as well as the stability of stretched Brownian motion and we derive a monotonicity principle for WMOT.
The current research of fractional Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems focuses on the qualitative theory and numerical methods, and much progress has been recently achieved in both directions. The objective of this paper is to explore a different route, namely, construction of explicit asymptotic approximations for the solutions. As a study case, we consider a problem with left and right Riemann-Liouville derivatives, for which our analysis yields asymptotically sharp estimates for the sequence of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.
We compare bipartite (Euclidean) matching problems in classical and quantum mechanics. The quantum case is treated in terms of a quantum version of the Wasserstein distance introduced in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul, Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2016), 165-205]. We show that the optimal quantum cost can be cheaper than the classical one. We treat in detail the case of two particles: the equal mass case leads to equal quantum and classical costs. Moreover, we show examples with different masses for which the quantum cost is strictly cheaper than the classical cost.
