Résumé

The object of this paper is to study estimates of $ϵ^{- q} W_{p} (μ + ϵ ν, μ)$ for small $ϵ > 0$ . Here $W_{p}$ is the Wasserstein metric on positive measures, $p > 1$ , μ is a probability measure and ν a signed, neutral measure ( $\int d ν = 0$ ). In [16] we proved uniform (in ϵ) estimates for $q = 1$ provided $\int ϕ d ν$ can be controlled in terms of $\int | \nabla ϕ |^{p / (p - 1)} d μ$ , for any smooth function ϕ.

In this paper we extend the results to the case where such a control fails. This is the case where, e.g., μ has a disconnected support, or the dimension d of μ (to be defined) is larger or equal to $p / (p - 1)$ .

In the latter case we get such an estimate provided $1 / p + 1 / d \neq 1$ for $q = \min (1, 1 / p + 1 / d)$ . If $1 / p + 1 / d = 1$ we get a log-Lipschitz estimate.

As an application we obtain Hölder estimates in $W_{p}$ for curves of probability measures which are absolutely continuous in the total variation norm.

In case the support of μ is disconnected (corresponding to $d = \infty$ ) we obtain sharp estimates for $q = 1 / p$ (“optimal teleportation”):

\lim_{ϵ \to 0} ϵ^{- 1 / p} W_{p} (μ, μ + ϵ ν) = {‖ ν ‖}_{μ}

where

{‖ ν ‖}_{μ}

is expressed in terms of optimal transport on a metric graph, determined only by the relative distances between the connected components of the support of μ, and the weights of the measure ν in each connected component of this support.
