Optimal Transportation and Applications

On the existence of dual solutions in Lorentzian Optimal Transport

speaker: Stefan Suhr (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)

abstract: Contrary to optimal transportation in the Riemannian metric world, in Lorentzian optimal transport dual solutions might not exist even though Kantorovich duality still holds. The underlying reason is the non-Lipschitz behavior of the cost function near the light cones. I will explain the geometry behind these phenomenon and show that it has interesting consequences for dynamical optimal couplings in spacetimes. Further I will discuss consequences of the existence of a dual solution for the underlying transport problem.
