A geometric lower bound on Grad’s number

Alessio Figalli — 2009

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this note we provide a new geometric lower bound on the so-called Grad’s number of a domain Ø in terms of how far Ø 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

Alessio FigalliNicola Gigli — 2011

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

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

Luigi AmbrosioAlessio Figalli — 2011

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We study points of density 1 / 2 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 1 / 2 is formulated in terms of the pointwise behaviour of the Ornstein-Uhlembeck semigroup.

Quantitative stability for sumsets in n

Alessio FigalliDavid Jerison — 2015

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Given a measurable set A n of positive measure, it is not difficult to show that | A + A | = | 2 A | if and only if A is equal to its convex hull minus a set of measure zero. We investigate the stability of this statement: If ( | A + A | - | 2 A | ) / | A | is small, is A close to its convex hull? Our main result is an explicit control, in arbitrary dimension, on the measure of the difference between A and its convex hull in terms of ( | A + A | - | 2 A | ) / | A | .

Synchronized traffic plans and stability of optima

Marc BernotAlessio Figalli — 2008

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

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

Alessio FigalliYoung-Heon KimRobert McCann — 2013

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

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....
