"Dualities on sets and how they appear in optimal transport"

In this talk, we will discuss order reversing quasi involutions, which are dualities on their image, and their properties. We prove that any order reversing quasi-involution is of a special form, which arose from the consideration of optimal transport problem with respect to costs that attain infinite values. We will discuss how this unified point of view on order reversing quasi-involutions helps to deepen the understanding of the underlying structures and principles. We will provide many examples and ways to construct new order reversing quasi-involutions from given ones. This talk is based on joint work with Shiri Artstein-Avidan and Shay Sadovsky.

This seminar will be held both online and in person:
