Hausdorff-boundedness and Wasserstein-realizability of Gromov-Wasserstein geodesics

About 5 years old · traced to

Let p∈[1,∞)p\in[1,\infty), and let an ℓp\ell^p-Gromov-Wasserstein geodesic be a geodesic for the ℓp\ell^p-Gromov-Wasserstein distance. A geodesic is Hausdorff-bounded if it satisfies the corresponding uniform Hausdorff control, and it is Wasserstein-realizable if it arises from a Wasserstein geodesic under the Gromov-Wasserstein construction. Gromov-Wasserstein geodesic conjecture. For every p∈(1,∞)p\in(1,\infty), any ℓp\ell^p-Gromov-Wasserstein geodesic is Hausdorff-bounded. Also, for every p∈[1,∞)p\in[1,\infty), any ℓp\ell^p-Gromov-Wasserstein geodesic is Wasserstein-realizable. The paper presents these assertions as an open problem after exhibiting a non-Hausdorff-bounded example for p=1p=1 and noting that no such example is known for p>1p>1.
