The course will give an introduction to the theory of optimal transport that has been rapidly developing in the last decades and has built fascinating connections to different fields of mathematics, in particular probability, geometry and PDEs. We will discuss some of the powerful applications of the theory, in particular to the gradient flow interpretation of evolutionary PDEs and (depending on the audience) to the geometry of metric measure spaces.
The lecture will take place online via Zoom. All further information and material is available in the Lernraum.
Background in measure theory and functional analysis will be helpful.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
