Abstract: In this paper we construct a global, continuous flow of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation on the entire space H1. Our solutions are conservative, in the sense that the total energy int(u2+ux2)dx remains a.e. constant in time. Our new approach is based on a distance functional J(u,v), defined in terms of an optimal transportation problem, which satisfies doverdtJ(u(t),v(t))leqkappacdotJ(u(t),v(t)) for every couple of solutions. Using this new distance functional, we can construct arbitrary solutions as the uniform limit of multi-peakon solutions, and prove a general uniqueness result.
