Title: From complete Calabi-Yau metrics to optimal transportation, and back again

Abstract: The Tian-Yau problem asks when a quasi-projective variety with trivial canonical bundle admits a complete Calabi-Yau metric.  I will discuss some progress on this problem, and explain how it is related to the regularity theory for optimal transportation.  Inspired by this connection, we obtain some new boundary regularity results for optimal transport.
