Abstract: Given $N$ absolutely continuous probabilities $h{o}_1,dotsc,h{o}_N$ over $mathbb{R}^d$ which have Sobolev regularity, and given a transport plan $P$ with marginals $h{o}_1,dotsc,h{o}_N$, we provide a universal technique to approximate $P$ with Sobolev regular transport plans with the same marginals. Moreover, we prove a sharp control of the energy and some continuity property of the approximating family.

Review text

The author starts from a multi-marginal optimal transport problem on the Euclidean space, in which he considers \(N\) Borel probability measures \((\rho_1,\dots,\rho_N)\), the cost, the goal minimization functions and the constraints (i.e., a generalization of the Kantorovich formulation of the optimal transport for \(n=2\)). He investigates the properties of the product space of measurements, when the measures have some regularity (in particular, in the case when the marginals have a Sobolev-type regularity). This work contains a systematic presentation of the results for general \(p > 1\), and the author indicates a way to obtain energy estimates and the strong \(W_{1,p}\) continuity property. The presented tool is useful in order to study the properties of the mapping between a transport plan and its marginals.
