Abstract
Some classical mass transportation problems are investigated in a finitely additive setting. Let and , where is a (σ-additive) probability space for . Let be an -measurable cost function. Let M be the collection of finitely additive probabilities on with marginals . If couplings are meant as elements of M, most classical results of mass transportation theory, including duality and attainability of the Kantorovich inf, are valid without any further assumptions. Special attention is devoted to martingale transport. Let for all i and
where is a reference probability on and are the canonical projections on . If , the Kantorovich inf over is attained, in the sense that for some . Conditions for are given as well.
