Abstract:

Given a compact Riemannian manifold, we study the regularity of the optimal transport map between two probability measures with cost given by the squared Riemannian distance. Our strategy is to define a new form of the so-called Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition and to show that this condition, together with the strict convexity on the nonfocal domains, implies the continuity of the optimal transport map. Moreover our new condition, again combined with the strict convexity of the nonfocal domains, allows to prove that all injectivity domains are strictly convex too. These results apply for instance on any small $C^4$-deformation of the two-sphere.
