An optimal transport formulation of the Einstein equations of general relativity
- Abstract:
-
The goal of the paper is to give an optimal transport formulation of the full Einstein equations of general relativity, linking the (Ricci) curvature of a space-time with the cosmological constant and the energy-momentum tensor. Such an optimal transport formulation is in terms of convexity/concavity properties of the Boltzmann–Shannon entropy along curves of probability measures extremizing suitable optimal transport costs. The result gives a new connection between general relativity and opt...
