Résumé

It is well known that the quadratic Wasserstein distance $W_{2} (\cdot, \cdot)$ is formally equivalent, for infinitesimally small perturbations, to some weighted $H^{- 1}$ homogeneous Sobolev norm. In this article I show that this equivalence can be integrated to get non-asymptotic comparison results between these distances. Then I give an application of these results to prove that the $W_{2}$ distance exhibits some localization phenomenon: if $μ$ and $ν$ are measures on $ℝ^{n}$ and $φ : ℝ^{n} \to ℝ_{+}$ is some bump function with compact support, then under mild hypotheses, you can bound above the Wasserstein distance between $φ \cdot μ$ and $φ \cdot ν$ by an explicit multiple of $W_{2} (μ, ν)$ .
