Uniform Statistical Convergence of Empirical Sinkhorn Potentials with Exponential and Polynomial Dependence on the Regularization Parameter

We study the empirical Sinkhorn estimator of the entropic optimal transport potentials under the uniform loss. Since the potentials are only unique up to additive constants, we measure the error using the quotient supremum norm, defined as $d_\infty([u],[v]) = \inf_{a\in\mathbb{R}}\|u-v-a\|_\infty$.
