OTPhys — Optimal Transport Theory: Applications to Physics

Optimal Transport theory contains the core of the solutions to diverse problems in science, in applied mathematics, physics and astrophysics. Recent advances and developments of fast new algorithms have paved the way for major breakthroughs in different domains of research. Optimal transport bears deep-rooted connections with mechanics and physics through variational calculus. The goal of this workshop is to describe recent developments, highlight connections with physical phenomena and harbour discussions to define new challenges, help start projects between participants and draw new research path in the field. The aim is to exploit applications of optimal transport theory to physics and bring together different expertise, from mathematics, Physics and computational science.
