Abstract.

In this talk, I will discuss global geometrical properties of Wasserstein space when the underlying space is a geodesic space which is (globally) nonpositively curved (CAT(0) space). The main result is a characterization of the isometry group when the base space has negative curvature. This is joint work with B. Kloeckner.
