We study the regularity of solutions to an optimal transportation problem where the dimension of the source is larger than that of the target. We demonstrate that if the target is $c$-convex, then the source has a canonical foliation whose…

We consider the $L^\infty$-optimal mass transportation problem \[ \min_{\Pi(\mu, \nu)} \gamma-\mathrm{ess\,sup\,} c(x,y), \] for a new class of costs $c(x,y)$ for which we introduce a tentative notion of twist condition. In particular we…
