Giovanni Conforti (École Polytechnique): Title: The dynamics of Schrodinger bridges Schroedinger bridges (SB) allow to lift from the point to the mesure setting the concept of Brownian bridge. On the other hand, they arise naturally as the critical curve for the dynamic formulation of the regularized Monge-Kantorovich problem. In this talk I will present some …

Mokameeting, September  20th 2017, 10:00-12:00 AM, room A415  INRIA Paris Batiment A  Andrea Natale (Imperial College, London) Title: Structure-preserving finite elements for perfect fluids Abstract: Perfect fluids with constant density are governed by the incompressible Euler equations. These equations can be formulated as a Lagrangian system with symmetries on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. In this talk, I …

Mokameeting, May 24th 2017, 10:30-12:00, room A415 Federico Stra (SNS Pisa) Title: Finiteness and continuity of multimarginal optimal transport cost Abstract: In the talk I will present some new results regarding the finiteness and continuity of the multimarginal optimal transport for a repulsive cost. We exhibit also counterexamples showing the sharpness of the finiteness condition. These …

Mokameeting, Jérôme Bolte, Toulouse 28 Juin 2017, 10:30-12:00, Room A415, INRIA Paris Title: A family of functional inequalities: lojasiewicz inequalities and displacement convex functions Abstract: For displacement convex functionals in the probability space equipped with the Monge-Kantorovich metric we prove the equivalence between the gradient and functional type Lojasiewicz inequalities. In a second part, we specialise these …
