On the Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition



February 15, 2012
3:00pm    SEC 104



Abstract
 

The Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition, first introduced to prove regularity of optimal transport maps for general cost functions, has turned out to be a useful tool for:

  • Obtaining geometric informations on the underlying manifold.
  • Making the principal-agent problem theoretically and computationally tractable, allowing to derive uniqueness and stability of the principal's optimum strategy.
In this expository talk I'll give an overview of these results.
