SUMMARY

The Kantorovich norm, also known as the Wasserstein metric, is a mathematical concept used to measure the distance between probability measures. It is particularly relevant in the context of optimal transport theory, where it quantifies the cost of transforming one distribution into another. The discussion highlights its application in pushforward measures, which involve integrating distances between measures. Understanding the Kantorovich norm is essential for those working with probability theory and measure integration.

I've seen a few references to it, but can't find it defined anywhere. What is it? Something with integrating distances between measures and something. Pushforward measure or something else?
