Abstract

In this paper, we study isometries of p-Wasserstein spaces. In our first result, for every complete and separable metric space X and for every p≥1, we construct a metric space Y such that X embeds isometrically into Y, and the p-Wasserstein space over Y admits mass-splitting isometries. Our second result is about embeddings into rigid constructions. We show that any complete and separable metric space X can be embedded isometrically into a metric space Y such that the 1-Wasserstein space is isometrically rigid.
