We study the optimal transportation mapping $\nabla \Phi : \mathbb{R}^d \mapsto \mathbb{R}^d$ pushing forward a probability measure $\mu = e^{-V} \ dx$ onto another probability measure $\nu = e^{-W} \ dx$. Following a classical approach of E. Calabi we introduce the Riemannian metric $g = D^2 \Phi$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and study spectral properties of the metric-measure space $M=(\mathbb{R}^d, g, \mu)$. We prove, in particular, that $M$ admits a non-negative Bakry-{\'E}mery tensor provided both $V$ and $W$ are convex. If the target measure $\nu$ is the Lebesgue measure on a convex set $\Omega$ and $\mu$ is log-concave we prove that $M$ is a $CD(K,N)$ space. Applications of these results include some global dimension-free a priori estimates of $\| D^2 \Phi\|$. With the help of comparison techniques on Riemannian manifolds and probabilistic concentration arguments we proof some diameter estimates for $M$.

We investigate the Brenier map \nabla \Phi between the uniform measures on two convex domains in \mathbb{R}^n or more generally, between two log-concave probability measures on \mathbb{R}^n. We show that the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix D^2 \Phi exhibit remarkable concentration properties on a multiplicative scale, regardless of the choice of the two measures or ...

According to a classical result of E.~Calabi any hyperbolic affine hypersphere endowed with its natural Hessian metric has a non-positive Ricci tensor. The affine hyperspheres can be described as the level sets of solutions to the ``hyperbolic" toric K\"ahler-Einstein equation $e^{\Phi} = \det D^2 \Phi$ on proper convex cones. We prove a generalization of this ...

We generalize the classical Hardy and Faber-Krahn inequalities to arbitrary functions on a convex body Ω ⊂ R n , not necessarily vanishing on the boundary ∂Ω. This reduces the study of the Neumann Poincar´e constant on Ω to that of the cone and Lebesgue measures on ∂Ω; these may be bounded via the curvature ...

The well-known Bohr--Pal theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function f on the circle T there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism h of T onto itself, such that the Fourier series of the superposition f o h converges uniformly. Subsequent improvements of this result imply that actually there exists a homeomorphism ...

Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ we consider a mass transportation mapping $T$ satisfying 1) $T$ sends $\mu$ to $\nu$, 2) $T$ has the form $T = \phi \frac{\nabla \phi}{|\nabla \phi|}$, where $\phi$ is a function with convex sublevel sets.
We prove a change of variables formula for $T$. We also establish Sobolev estimates for ...

We study the transportation problem on the unit sphere Sn−1 for symmetric probability measures and the cost function c(x,y)=log1⟨x,y⟩.
We calculate the variation of the corresponding Kantorovich functional K and study a naturally associated metric-measure space on Sn−1 endowed with a Riemannian
metric generated by the corresponding transportational potential. We introduce a new transportational functional which minimizers are
solutions to the symmetric log-Minkowski problem and ...

We construct an explicit solution for the multimarginal transportation problem on the unit cube $[0, 1]^3$ with the cost function $xyz$ and one-dimensional uniform projections. We show that the primal problem is concentrated on a set with a nonconstant local dimension and admits many solutions, whereas the solution to the corresponding dual problem is unique ...

We study the Monge--Kantorovich problem with one-dimensional marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$ and
the cost function $c = \min\{l_1, \ldots, l_n\}$
that equals the minimum of a finite number $n$ of affine functions $l_i$
satisfying certain non-degeneracy assumptions. We prove that the problem
is equivalent to a finite-dimensional extremal problem. More precisely, it is shown that the solution is concentrated

We further develop the theory of f-divergences for log-concave functions and their related inequalities. We establish Pinsker inequalities, new affine invariant entropy inequalities and new inequalities on functional affine surface area The functional inequalities lead to new affine invariant inequalities for convex bodies. Equality characterizations in these inequalities are related to a Monge Amp`ere differential ...

We study the Monge and Kantorovich transportation problems on R∞R∞ within the class of exchangeable measures. With the help of the de Finetti decomposition theorem the problem is reduced to an unconstrained optimal transportation problem on a Hilbert space. We find sufficient conditions for convergence of finite-dimensional approximations to the Monge solution. The result holds, in particular, ...

We consider probability measures on R∞ and study optimal transportation mappings for the case of infinite Kantorovich distance. Our examples include 1) quasi-product measures, 2) measures with certain symmetric properties, in particular, exchangeable and stationary measures. We show in the latter case that existence problem for optimal transportation is closely related to ergodicity of the target measure. ...

Coconvex sets (complements in a convex cone of convex subsets coinciding with the cone far enough from its apex) appear in singularity theory (as Newton diagrams) and in commutative algebra. Such invariants of coconvex sets as volumes, mixed volumes, number of integer points, etc., play an important role. This paper aims at extending various results ...

Given a probability measure \mu supported on a convex subset \Omega of Euclidean space (\mathbb{R}^d,g_0), we are interested in obtaining Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev type inequalities on (\Omega,g_0,\mu). To this end, we change the metric g_0 to a more general Riemannian one g, adapted in a certain sense to \mu, and perform our analysis on (\Omega,g,\mu). The types of metrics we consider are Hessian metrics (intimately related ...
