| Abstract: |
|---|
| In 1781, Monge asked about the optimal way to transport a dirtpile
from one place to another. Performing such an optimal transport
gives a geodesic path in the space of probability measures. The
optimal transport problem has had recent applications to Riemannian
geometry (collapse with Ricci curvature bounded below). I will
describe these developments. |
