The Kantorovich Initiative is dedicated towards research and dissemination of modern mathematics of optimal transport towards a wide audience of researchers, students, industry, policy makers and the general public. To know more about optimal transport, check out the wiki created by students at UC Santa Barbara and maintained by Katy Craig. Contributions are welcome! https://otwiki.xyz
The group was convened by Young-Heon Kim (University of British Columbia), Soumik Pal (University of Washington) and Brendan Pass (University of Alberta), with support from the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.
The Center for Advanced Mathematics and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences are organizing a Symposium on Optimal Transport and Applications at the American University of Beirut from November 6-11, 2023. Registration is now open. The event will include minicourses on the following topics
In the fall term of 2023, Soumik Pal (UW) and Young-Heon Kim (UBC), will offer a graduate course on Optimal Transport
While Einstein’s theory of gravity is formulated in a smooth setting, the celebrated singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose …
Our introduction of the notion of a non-linear Kantorovich operator was motivated by the celebrated duality in the mass transport …
