Abstract

Let μ=eV dx\mu = e^{-V} \ dx be a probability measure and T=ΦT = \nabla \Phi be the optimal transportation mapping pushing forward μ\mu onto a log-concave compactly supported measure ν=eW dx\nu = e^{-W} \ dx. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to the regularity problem for the corresponding Monge--Amp{\`e}re equation eV=detD2ΦeW(Φ)e^{-V} = \det D^2 \Phi \cdot e^{-W(\nabla \Phi)} in the Besov spaces Wlocγ,1W^{\gamma,1}_{loc}. We prove that D2ΦWlocγ,1D^2 \Phi \in W^{\gamma,1}_{loc} provided eVe^{-V} belongs to a proper Besov class and WW is convex. In particular, D2ΦLlocpD^2 \Phi \in L^p_{loc} for some p>1p>1. Our proof does not rely on the previously known regularity results.
