For a Lipschitz function on Euclidean space with constant L, the square roots of the integrals of its square against two probability measures with finite second moment differ by at most L times their Wasserstein distance.

Statement

In the setting of Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation, whose probability space (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) is not used (the letters PP and P′P' below denote probability measures on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}), let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let L∈RL\in\mathbb{R} be nonnegative, let Φ:Rn→R\Phi:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} be Lipschitz with constant LL for the Euclidean distance and the metric of The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line, and let P,P′∈P2(Rn)P,P'\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), the set of The Second Moment of a Probability Measure on Euclidean Space and the Probability Measures with Finite Second Moment §space, with W2W_{2} the Wasserstein distance.

(Bound) Φ\Phi is Borel and Φ2\Phi^{2} is integrable with respect to PP and to P′P', so that Φ\Phi lies in L2(P;R)L^{2}(P;\mathbb{R}) and in L2(P′;R)L^{2}(P';\mathbb{R}) of Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation §fields; with ∥Φ∥P\lVert\Phi\rVert_{P} and ∥Φ∥P′\lVert\Phi\rVert_{P'} the norms of that clause, which are the nonnegative square roots of ∫RnΦ2 dP\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\Phi^{2}\,dP and ∫RnΦ2 dP′\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\Phi^{2}\,dP',

∣∥Φ∥P−∥Φ∥P′∣≤L W2(P,P′).\bigl|\lVert\Phi\rVert_{P}-\lVert\Phi\rVert_{P'}\bigr|\le L\,W_{2}(P,P') .
