The Monge problem on non-compact manifolds
A geometric lower bound on Grad’s number
In this note we provide a new geometric lower bound on the so-called Grad’s number of a domain in terms of how far is from being axisymmetric. Such an estimate is important in the study of the trend to equilibrium for the Boltzmann equation for dilute gases.

Local semiconvexity of Kantorovich potentials on non-compact manifolds
We prove that any Kantorovich potential for the cost function = /2 on a Riemannian manifold (, ) is locally semiconvex in the “region of interest”, without any compactness assumption on , nor any assumption on its curvature. Such a region of interest is of full -measure as soon as the starting measure does not charge – 1-dimensional rectifiable sets.
Surface measures and convergence of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup in Wiener spaces
We study points of density of sets of finite perimeter in infinite-dimensional Gaussian spaces and prove that, as in the finite-dimensional theory, the surface measure is concentrated on this class of points. Here density is formulated in terms of the pointwise behaviour of the Ornstein-Uhlembeck semigroup.
Quantitative stability for sumsets in
Given a measurable set of positive measure, it is not difficult to show that if and only if is equal to its convex hull minus a set of measure zero. We investigate the stability of this statement: If is small, is close to its convex hull? Our main result is an explicit control, in arbitrary dimension, on the measure of the difference between and its convex hull in terms of .
Synchronized traffic plans and stability of optima
The irrigation problem is the problem of finding an efficient way to transport a measure μ onto a measure μ. By efficient, we mean that a structure that achieves the transport (which, following [Bernot, Caselles and Morel, (2005) 417–451], we call traffic plan) is better if it carries the mass in a grouped way rather than in a separate way. This is formalized by considering costs functionals that favorize this property. The aim of this paper is to introduce a dynamical cost functional...

Regularity of optimal transport maps on multiple products of spheres
This article addresses regularity of optimal transport maps for cost=“squared distance” on Riemannian manifolds that are products of arbitrarily many round spheres with arbitrary sizes and dimensions. Such manifolds are known to be non-negatively cross-curved. Under boundedness and non-vanishing assumptions on the transfered source and target densities we show that optimal maps stay away from the cut-locus (where the cost exhibits singularity), and obtain injectivity and continuity of optimal maps....
