English abstract:
We study the optimal transport between two probability measures
on the real line, where the transport plans are laws of one-step mar-
tingales. A quasi-sure formulation of the dual problem is introduced
and shown to yield a complete duality theory for general marginals
and measurable reward (cost) functions: absence of a duality gap and
existence of dual optimizers. Both properties are shown to fail in the
classical formulation. As a consequence of the duality result, we obtain ageneralprincipleofcyclicalmonotonicitydescribingthegeometryof
optimal transports.
