### Transportation inequalities: From Poisson to Gibbs measures

#### Abstract

We establish an optimal transportation inequality for the Poisson measure on the configuration space. Furthermore, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition, we obtain a sharp transportation inequality for the Gibbs measure on $ℕ^Λ$ or the continuum Gibbs measure on the configuration space.
