Abstract

We study Bregman divergences in probability density space embedded with the $$L^2$$ –Wasserstein metric. Several properties and dualities of transport Bregman divergences are provided. In particular, we derive the transport Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence by a Bregman divergence of negative Boltzmann–Shannon entropy in $$L^2$$ –Wasserstein space. We also derive analytical formulas and generalizations of transport KL divergence for one-dimensional probability densities and Gaussian families.
