Title:
An introduction to optimal transport


Abstract:
We shall discuss the basics of the optimal transport problem and of its 
dual formulation. The concepts of c-concavity and c-superdifferential 
will also be introduced and at the end of the talk we will sketch the 
proof of the celebrated theorem of Brenier about optimal transport maps 
in the Euclidean space for cost = distance-squared.
