Abstract:
Given two smooth and positive densities $\rho_0,\rho_1$ on two compact convex sets $K_0,K_1$, respectively, we consider the question whether the support of the measure $\rho_t$ obtained as the geodesic interpolant of $\rho_0$ and $\rho_1$ in the Wasserstein space $W_2(\mathbb R^d)$ is necessarily convex or not. We prove that this is not the case, even when $\rho_0$ and $\rho_1$ are uniform measures.
