Abstract

We prove the existence of solutions for the Monge minimization problem, addressed in a metric measure space (X,d,m)(X,d,m) enjoying the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition \RCD(K,N)\RCD(K,N), with N<N < \infty. For the first marginal measure, we assume that μ0m\mu_{0} \ll m. As a corollary, we obtain that the Monge problem and its relaxed version, the Monge-Kantorovich problem, attain the same minimal value. Moreover we prove a structure theorem for dd-cyclically monotone sets: neglecting a set of zero mm-measure they do not contain any branching structures, that is, they can be written as the disjoint union of the image of a disjoint family of geodesics.
