abstract

A basic and natural coupling between two probabilities on $\mathbb R^N$ is given by the Knothe-Rosenblatt coupling. It represents a multiperiod extension of the quantile coupling and is simple to calculate numerically. We consider the distance on $\mathcal P (\mathbb R^N)$ that is induced by considering the transport costs associated to the Knothe-Rosenblatt coupling. We show that this Knothe-Rosenblatt distance metrizes the adapted weak topology which is a stochastic process version of the usual weak topology and plays an important role, e.g. concerning questions on stability of stochastic control and probabilistic operations. We also establish that the Knothe-Rosenblatt distance is a geodesic distance, give a Skorokhod representation theorem for the adapted weak topology, and provide multi-dimensional versions of our results.
