The weights appearing in our expression are distortion coefficients that reflect the delicate sub-Riemannian structure of our space including the presence of abnormal geodesics. Our inequality interpolates in some sense between Euclidean and sub-Riemannian structures, corresponding to the mass transportation along abnormal and strictly normal geodesics, respectively. As applications, entropy, Brunn-Minkowski and Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are established.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-30T21:25:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "carnot groups", "applications", "optimal mass transportation akin", "delicate sub-riemannian structure", "weighted pointwise jacobian determinant inequality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
