We are interested in the cost-convex potentials in optimal mass transport theory, and we show by direct and geometric arguments the equivalence between cost-subdifferentials and ordinary subdifferentials of cost-convex functions, under the…
This note concerns the relationship between conditions on cost functions and domains and the convexity properties of potentials in optimal transportation and the continuity of the associated optimal mappings. In particular, we prove that if…
The key condition A3w of Ma, Trudinger and Wang for regularity of optimal transportation maps is implied by the nonnegativity of a pseudo-Riemannian curvature -- which we call cross-curvature -- induced by the transportation cost. For the…
Building on the results of Ma, Trudinger and Wang \cite{MTW}, and of the author \cite{L5}, we study two problems of optimal transportation on the sphere: the first corresponds to the cost function $d^2(x,y)$, where $d(\cdot,\cdot)$ is the…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ equipped with respective probability measures $\mu$ and $ \nu$. We consider the problem of optimal transport from $\mu$ to $\nu$ with respect to a cost function $c: X \times Y \to \mathbb{R}$. To…
We define and discuss the properties of a class of cost functions on the sphere which we term defective cost functions. We then discuss how to extend these definitions and some properties to cost functions defined on Euclidean space and on…
Let M and \bar M be n-dimensional manifolds equipped with suitable Borel probability measures \rho and \bar\rho. Ma, Trudinger & Wang gave sufficient conditions on a transportation cost c \in C^4(M \times \bar M) to guarantee smoothness of…
We consider the optimal transportation problem on a globally hyperbolic spacetime for some cost function $c_2$, which corresponds to the optimal transportation problem on a complete Riemannian manifold where the cost function is the…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the cost function so that the map solution of Monge's optimal transportation problem is continuous for arbitrary smooth positive data. This condition was first introduced by Ma, Trudinger and…
We provide a geometric interpretation of the well known A3w condition for regularity of optimal transport maps.
The study of reflector surfaces in geometric optics necessitates the analysis of certain nonlinear equations of Monge-Amp\`ere type known as generated Jacobian equations. These equations, whose general existence theory has been recently…
We prove that, in the optimal transportation problem with general costs and positive continuous densities, the potential function is always of class $W^{2,p}_{loc}$ for any $p \geq 1$ outside of a closed singular set of measure zero. We…

A key inequality which underpins the regularity theory of optimal transport for costs satisfying the Ma--Trudinger--Wang condition is the Pogorelov second derivative bound. This translates to an apriori interior $C^1$ estimate for smooth…
