Abstract (VO)
Résumé

We study the geometry of Poisson point processes from the point of view of optimal transport and Ricci lower bounds. We construct a Riemannian structure on the space of point processes and the associated distance $𝒲$ that corresponds to the Benamou–Brenier variational formula. Our main tool is a non-local continuity equation formulated with the difference operator. The closure of the domain of the relative entropy is a complete geodesic space, when endowed with $𝒲$ . The geometry of this non-local infinite-dimensional space is analogous to that of spaces with positive Ricci curvature. Among others: (a) the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semi-group is the gradient flow of the relative entropy; (b) the Poisson space has an entropic Ricci curvature bounded from below by $1$ ; (c) $𝒲$ satisfies an HWI inequality.

Nous étudions la géométrie des processus ponctuels de Poisson à travers le prisme du transport optimal et de la minoration de la courbure de Ricci. Nous construisons une structure riemannienne sur l’espace des processus ponctuels et la distance associée $𝒲$ qui concorde avec la formulation variationnelle de Benamou–Brenier. Notre analyse repose sur une équation de continuité non locale définie à l’aide de l’opérateur de différence. La fermeture du domaine de l’entropie relative, équipé de $𝒲$ , est un espace géodésique complet. La géométrie de cet espace non local et de dimension infinie est analogue à celle des espaces à courbure de Ricci strictement positive. Entre autres : (a) le semi-groupe d’Ornstein–Uhlenbeck est le flot du gradient de l’entropie relative ; (b) l’espace de Poisson a une courbure de Ricci entropique minorée par $1$ ; (c) $𝒲$ satisfait une inégalité HWI.
