The Monge-Kantorovich problem is a mathematical framework used to find the optimal way to transport mass from one probability distribution to another while minimizing transportation costs. This problem connects various fields such as optimal transport theory, analysis, and probability, and plays a significant role in recent developments in geometric analysis by providing insights into the structure of spaces and optimal metrics.
