The local geometry of maps with c-convex potentials

Abstract

We identify a condition for regularity of optimal transport maps that requires only three derivatives of the cost function, for measures given by densities that are only bounded above and below. This new condition is equivalent to the weak Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition when the cost is C4C^4. Moreover, we only require (non-strict) c-convexity of the support of the target measure, removing the hypothesis of strong c-convexity in a previous result of Figalli, Kim, and McCann, but at the added cost of assuming compact containment of the supports of both the source and target measures.
