In this paper we develop the analysis of [3] about the extension of the optimal transport framework to the space of real measures. The main motivation comes from the study of nonpositive solutions to some evolution PDEs. Although a canonical optimal transport distance does not seem to be available, we may describe the cost for transporting signed measures in various ways and with interesting properties.
