Abstract:

These very short lecture notes do not obviously want to be an exhaustive presentation of the topic, but only a short list of results, concepts and ideas which are useful when dealing for the first time with the theory of Optimal Transport. The style that was chosen when preparing them, in view of their use during the Summer School, was highly informal and this revised version respects the same style.

Keywords: displacement convexity, Monge problem, Wasserstein distance, regularity, continuity equation, Kantorovich problem, duality, curves of measures
