Bipolar comparison

Differential Geometry 2019-04-22 v4 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We define a new type of metric comparison similar to the comparison of Alexandrov. We show that it has strong connections to continuity of optimal transport between regular measures on a Riemannian manifold, in particular to the so called MTW condition introduced by Xi-Nan Ma, Neil Trudinger and Xu-Jia Wang.
