On Foliated Optimal Transport
Diego S. Ledesma, Renata Possobon, Christian S. Rodrigues
Source abstract
In this paper we introduce a geometrically constrained optimal transport problem on Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Borel foliation, in which mass is transported only within individual leaves. We characterize the existence of foliated transport plans through the equality of the transverse projections of the marginals and show that the corresponding quadratic transport cost decomposes into a measurable family of leafwise optimal transport problems. We also formulate the problem as a classical Kantorovich problem with an extended-valued leafwise cost. Finally, we introduce a foliated continuity equation and establish a Benamou-Brenier formula relating the static and dynamical foliated formulations.
