    Weak semiconvexity estimates for Schrödinger potentials and logarithmic Sobolev inequality for Schrödinger bridges

    We investigate the quadratic Schrödinger bridge problem, a.k.a. Entropic Optimal Transport problem, and obtain weak semiconvexity and semiconcavity bounds on Schrödinger potentials under mild assumptions on th...

    Long-time Behaviour of Entropic Interpolations

    In this article we investigate entropic interpolations. These measure valued curves describe the optimal solutions of the Schrödinger problem Schrödinger (Sitzungsberichte Preuss Akad. Wiss. Berlin. Phys. Math. 1...

    Schrödinger Problem for Lattice Gases: A Heuristic Point of View

    Aim of this paper is to take the first steps in the study of the Schrödinger problem for lattice gases (SPLG), which we formulate relying on classical results in large deviations theory. Our main contributions...

    The mean field Schrödinger problem: ergodic behavior, entropy estimates and functional inequalities

    We study the mean field Schrödinger problem (MFSP), that is the problem of finding the most likely evolution of a cloud of interacting Brownian particles conditionally on the observation of their initial and fina...

    Conditioned Point Processes with Application to Lévy Bridges

    Our first result concerns a characterization by means of a functional equation of Poisson point processes conditioned by the value of their first moment. It leads to a generalized version of Mecke’s formula. En p...

    A second order equation for Schrödinger bridges with applications to the hot gas experiment and entropic transportation cost

    The Schrödinger problem is obtained by replacing the mean square distance with the relative entropy in the Monge–Kantorovich problem. It was first addressed by Schrödinger as the problem of describing the most li...

    Couplings, gradient estimates and logarithmic Sobolev inequalitiy for Langevin bridges

    In this paper we establish quantitative results about the bridges of the Langevin dynamics and the associated reciprocal processes. They include an equivalence between gradient estimates for bridge semigroups ...

    Reciprocal Class of Jump Processes

    Processes having the same bridges as a given reference Markov process constitute its reciprocal class. In this paper we study the reciprocal class of compound Poisson processes whose jumps belong to a finite set

    Extremal Curves in Wasserstein Space
