$L^1$-Monge problem in metric spaces possibly with branching geodesics

Metric Geometry 2019-10-01 v1 Probability

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Monge optimal transport problem with distance cost. We prove that in some metric spaces, possibly with many branching geodesics, an optimal transport map exists if the first marginal is absolutely continuous. The result is applicable to normed spaces and Hilbert geometries.
