We consider the assignment problem between two sets of $N$ random points on a smooth, two-dimensional manifold $\Omega$ of unit area. It is known that the average cost scales as $E_{\Omega}(N)\sim \frac{1}{2\pi}\ln N$ with a correction that is at most of order $\sqrt{\ln N\ln\ln N}$. In this paper, we show that, within the linearization approximation of the field-theoretical formulation of the problem, the first $\Omega$-dependent correction is on the constant term, and can be exactly computed…

On the quadratic random matching problem in two-dimensional domains
We investigate the average minimum cost of a bipartite matching, with respect to the squared Euclidean distance, between two samples of n i.i.d. random points on a bounded Lipschitz domain in the…

On the optimal map in the 2-dimensional random matching problem
We show that, on a $2$-dimensional compact manifold, the optimal transport map in the semi-discrete random matching problem is well-approximated in the $L^2$-norm by identity plus the gradient of the…
A Negative Mass Theorem for the 2-Torus
Let M be a closed surface. For a metric g on M, denote the area element by dA and the Laplace-Beltrami operator by Δ = Δg. We define the Robin mass m(p) at the point$${{p \in\, M}}$$ to be the value…
Finer estimates on the $2$-dimensional matching problem
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the expected cost of the random matching problem on a $2$-dimensional compact manifold, improving in several aspects the results of L. Ambrosio, F. Stra and D.…
A Negative Mass Theorem for Surfaces of Positive Genus
Let M be a closed surface. For a metric g on M, denote the Laplace-Beltrami operator by Δ = Δg. We define trace $${\Delta^{-1} = \int_M m(p)dA}$$ , where dA is the area element for g and m(p) is the…
Extremals for Logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobelov Inequalities on Compact Manifolds
Abstract.Let M be a closed, connected surface and let Γ be a conformal class of metrics on M with each metric normalized to have area V. For a metric g $$\in$$ Γ, denote the area element by dV and…
Minimal Discrete Energy on the Sphere
We investigate the energy of arrangements of N points on the surface of a sphere in R3, interacting through a power law potential V = rα, −2 < α < 2, where r is Euclidean distance. For α = 0, we take…
A proof of Parisi’s conjecture on the random assignment problem
Abstract.An assignment problem is the optimization problem of finding, in an m by n matrix of nonnegative real numbers, k entries, no two in the same row or column, such that their sum is minimal.…
Gravitational allocation on the sphere
TLDR
A matching between two collections of n independent and uniform points on the sphere is defined and it is proved that the expected distance between a pair of matched points is O(log⁡n), which is optimal by a result of Ajtai, Komlós, and Tusnády.

The random assignment (or bipartite matching) problem asks about An=minπ ∑  i=1nc(i, π(i)), where (c(i, j)) is a n×n matrix with i.i.d. entries, say with exponential(1) distribution, and the minimum…
