Optimal Transport: Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, cartea 338

Autor Cédric Villani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2008

Remarcăm în Optimal Transport o resursă monumentală care demonstrează aplicabilitatea practică a transportului optim în domenii diverse, de la ecuații cu derivate parțiale până la geometria metrică și probabilități. Lucrarea semnată de Cédric Villani nu este doar un tratat teoretic, ci un ghid riguros care transformă o problemă istorică, formulată inițial de Monge în secolul al XVIII-lea, într-un instrument modern de analiză. Reținem că această ediție de 1000 de pagini este concepută pentru a fi parcursă integral de către doctoranzi, oferind un aparat critic vast și o bibliografie comentată care facilitează navigarea prin literatura de specialitate. Structura volumului este organizată progresiv: primele secțiuni clarifică proprietățile de bază și dualitatea Kantorovich, în timp ce nucleul cărții explorează concepte precum interpolarea prin deplasare și curbura Ricci. În comparație cu Lectures on Optimal Transport de Luigi Ambrosio, care servește drept o introducere universitară concentrată, volumul de față oferă o acoperire enciclopedică, detaliind aspecte complexe de geometrie Riemanniană și „calcul Otto” pe care alte texte le tratează doar tangențial. De asemenea, Optimal Transport completează perspectiva oferită de Optimal Transport for Applied Mathematicians, adăugând o profunzime teoretică superioară în zona analizei funcționale și a inegalităților de concentrare. Poziționată în opera autorului între lucrări tehnice precum Nonlinear PDE’s and Applications și eseuri de reflecție asupra disciplinei precum Freedom in Mathematics, această monografie reprezintă pilonul central al contribuției lui Villani la matematica contemporană. Este o lucrare de referință care sintetizează tranziția de la teoria de bază la rezultatele de cercetare de ultimă oră, fiind esențială pentru orice bibliotecă de matematică avansată.

Despre autor

Cédric Villani este unul dintre cei mai proeminenți matematicieni contemporani, distins cu Medalia Fields în anul 2010 pentru contribuțiile sale în domeniul amortizării Landau și al ecuației Boltzmann. Profesor la Universitatea din Lyon și fost director al Institutului Henri Poincaré, Villani este recunoscut pentru capacitatea sa de a face legături între fizica statistică și geometria diferențială. Opera sa variază de la tratate fundamentale de analiză matematică la lucrări interdisciplinare care explorează rolul inteligenței artificiale în medicină, reflectând o viziune globală asupra rolului matematicii în societatea modernă.


Descriere scurtă

At the close of the 1980s, the independent contributions of Yann Brenier, Mike Cullen and John Mather launched a revolution in the venerable field of optimal transport founded by G. Monge in the 18th century, which has made breathtaking forays into various other domains of mathematics ever since. The author presents a broad overview of this area, supplying complete and self-contained proofs of all the fundamental results of the theory of optimal transport at the appropriate level of generality. Thus, the book encompasses the broad spectrum ranging from basic theory to the most recent research results.
PhD students or researchers can read the entire book without any prior knowledge of the field. A comprehensive bibliography with notes that extensively discuss the existing literature underlines the book’s value as a most welcome reference text on this subject.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"The book is aimed to old and new problems of optimal transport. … This meticulous work is based on very large bibliography … that is converted into a very valuable monograph that presents many statements and theorems written specifically for this approach, complete and self-contained proofs of the most important results, and extensive bibliographical notes." (Mihail Voicu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1156, 2009)
“This book wins the challenge to give a new and broad perspective on the multifacet topic of the optimal mass transport. … Besides extensive and accurate references therein the reader will find comments on related questions barely touched upon in the main text as well as lively presentations on how ideas and results have developed. This book should prove useful both to the expert and to the beginner looking for a reference text on the subject.” (Dario Cordero Erausquin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 f)
“The book is an in-depth, modern, clear exposition of the advanced theory of optimal transport, and it tries to put together in a unified way almost all the recent developments of the theory. … the book is extremely well written and very pleasant to read. … I strongly recommend this excellent book to every researcher or graduate student in the field of optimal transport. … of interest to many mathematicians in different areas, who are simply interested in having an overview of the subject.” (Alessio Figalli, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 47 (4), February, 2010)

Notă biografică

PIERRE CARTIER is academic by training, emeritus research director at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), and research scientist and a visitor (for indeterminate term) at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) of Bures-sur-Yvette. He is currently emeritus research director at the University Paris-Diderot. He is former member of the Bourbaki group. Born in 1932 in Sedan, Professor Carier, despite his provincial background, followed the path of excellence in his studies: a secondary school in his home town, followed by the lycée Saint-Louis in Paris and then the École normale superieure, and he obtained an advanced teaching degree and a doctorate in mathematics (1958). He also went to Princeton for two years; there he became acquainted with legendary figures such as Robert Oppenheimer and Andre Weil (brother of philosopher Simone Weil). Last but not least, he carried out a long military service in the marine corps against the backdrop ofthe Algerian war. He was then professor at the University of Strasbourg from 1961 to 1971. The years 1950-1975 were the hey-day of the Bourbaki group, of which he is one of the pillars; there he became friends with famous people like Cartan, Schwartz, Dieudonné, Chevalley, Weil, and with younger ones. A "mathematician without borders", Professor Cartier is active within the framework of the cooperation agency of the French Mathematical Society (Cimpa). He had been working in the Paris region since 1971, and he roamed around between Parisian academic institutions: University Paris-Sud, École polytechnique, École normale supérieure. He is not a member of the French Academy of Sciences (a voluntary choice). His scientific interests are quite diverse (even eclectic), but centered around group theory and mathematical physics. He often cited thesis relates to algebraic geometry, by he also contributed to differential geometry, number theory, combinatorics, numerical analysis, probability and mathematical physics. He wrote a reference book on Feynman Integrals (in collaboration with C. DeWitt-Morette, Functional Integration, Action and symmetries (Cambridge University Press, 2004). He is also one of the editors of Mathematics in the 21st Century: 6th World Conference, Lahore, March 2013 (Springer, 2014). He has supervised more than 40 doctoral theses, and he continues to work with some of my students on multiple zeta values and the Galois theory of differential equations. JEAN DHOMBRES is mathematician and historian of science, emeritus CNRS research director, director of studies at the Alexandre Koyre Centre of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), specialist of the mathematics of functional equations and of their applications, of epistemology of mathematics, and of the history of scientific communities and of the spread of scholarly ideas. Born in Paris in 1942, he studied at the École polytechnique and chose to take a chance with mathematical research instead of graduating as an engineer. He worked in functional analysis and through a series of encounters, he joined a small international group of scientists focused on functional equations. In fact it was in Bangkok that his first book was published as a result of a talk he had given at Chulalongkorn University in 1971. Besides many articles, he is happy to have been able to work with Janos Aczael, the uncontested leader in this field, having published with him a book on the subject, which has now become a reference, in Encyclopaedia of mathematics (University of Cambridge Press, republished in 2008). Probably as a reaction to his family background, as well as to a scientific training centered on France, he wished to see the world, by learning Chinese, by participating in the establishment of experimental classes in Wu Han in China, then by becoming scientific adviser in a French embassy for three years. He became professor at the University of Nantes as early as 1972. Since for a while he
