Title: Geometric aspects of Optimal Transportation theory

Abstract: In the recent years, Optimal transportation theory has been 
found to be
very useful to describe geometric and analytic properties. We will first 
focus
on the geometric aspect, giving a short overview on the past theory and then
discussing more recent applications, like the L´evy-Gromov-Milman 
isoperimetric
inequality for metric spaces. On the analytic side, we will illustrate 
how optimal
transportation can be used to describe gas dynamics.

Venue: SISSA, Wednesday 16 March at 11:30 in lecture room 134
