This lecture covers the theory and applications of optimal transport, focusing on the concepts of infimal convolution, Kantorovich potentials, and the existence of optimal maps. The instructor discusses the nonexistence of maps in certain scenarios and the uniqueness of optimal plans. Various mathematical formulations and examples are presented to illustrate the principles of optimal transport.
