[{"scopus_import":"1","ec_funded":1,"abstract":[{"text":"Recently Kloeckner described the structure of the isometry group of the quadratic Wasserstein space W_2(R^n). It turned out that the case of the real line is exceptional in the sense that there exists an exotic isometry flow. Following this line of investigation, we compute Isom(W_p(R)), the isometry group of the Wasserstein space\r\nW_p(R) for all p \\in [1,\\infty) \\setminus {2}. We show that W_2(R) is also exceptional regarding the\r\nparameter p: W_p(R) is isometrically rigid if and only if p is not equal to 2. Regarding the underlying\r\nspace, we prove that the exceptionality of p = 2 disappears if we replace R by the compact\r\ninterval [0,1]. Surprisingly, in that case, W_p([0,1]) is isometrically rigid if and only if\r\np is not equal to 1. Moreover, W_1([0,1]) admits isometries that split mass, and Isom(W_1([0,1]))\r\ncannot be embedded into Isom(W_1(R)).","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1090/tran/8113","department":[{"_id":"LaEr"}],"publication_status":"published","keyword":["Wasserstein space","isometric embeddings","isometric rigidity","exotic isometry flow"],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1088-6850"],"issn":["0002-9947"]},"_id":"7389","article_processing_charge":"No","issue":"8","date_created":"2020-01-29T10:20:46Z","author":[{"full_name":"Geher, Gyorgy Pal","first_name":"Gyorgy Pal","last_name":"Geher"},{"first_name":"Tamas","last_name":"Titkos","full_name":"Titkos, Tamas"},{"id":"48DB45DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-1109-5511","last_name":"Virosztek","first_name":"Daniel","full_name":"Virosztek, Daniel"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.00859"}],"ddc":["515"],"project":[{"name":"Geometric study of Wasserstein spaces and free probability","grant_number":"846294","_id":"26A455A6-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"intvolume":"       373","arxiv":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","volume":373,"year":"2020","month":"08","date_published":"2020-08-01T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2025-07-10T11:54:32Z","publisher":"American Mathematical Society","isi":1,"type":"journal_article","publication":"Transactions of the American Mathematical Society","title":"Isometric study of Wasserstein spaces - the real line","external_id":{"arxiv":["2002.00859"],"isi":["000551418100018"]},"day":"01","oa":1,"oa_version":"Preprint","quality_controlled":"1","article_type":"original","citation":{"chicago":"Geher, Gyorgy Pal, Tamas Titkos, and Daniel Virosztek. “Isometric Study of Wasserstein Spaces - the Real Line.” <i>Transactions of the American Mathematical Society</i>.
