چکیده
In this paper we investigate the regularity of optimal transport maps for the squared distance cost on Riemannian manifolds. First of all, we provide some general necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian manifold to satisfy the so-called Transport Continuity Property. Then, we show that on surfaces these conditions coincide. Finally, we give some regularity results on transport maps in some specific cases, extending in particular the results on the flat torus and the real projective space to a more general class of manifolds.

Continuity, Curvature, and the General Covariance of Optimal Transportation
Let M and M̄ be n-dimensional manifolds equipped with suitable Borel probability measures ρ and ρ̄. For subdomains M and M̄ of Rn, Ma, Trudinger & Wang gave sufficient conditions on a transportation cost c ∈ C4(M × M̄) to guarantee smoothness of the optimal map pushing ρ forward to ρ̄; the necessity of these conditions was deduced by Loeper. The present manuscript shows the form of these conditions ...
متن کاملRegularity of optimal transport maps on multiple products of spheres
This article addresses regularity of optimal transport maps for cost=“squared distance” on Riemannian manifolds that are products of arbitrarily many round spheres with arbitrary sizes and dimensions. Such manifolds are known to be non-negatively cross-curved [KM2]. Under boundedness and non-vanishing assumptions on the transfered source and target densities we show that optimal maps stay away ...
متن کاملMass Transportation on Sub-Riemannian Manifolds
We study the optimal transport problem in sub-Riemannian manifolds where the cost function is given by the square of the sub-Riemannian distance. Under appropriate assumptions, we generalize Brenier-McCann’s Theorem proving existence and uniqueness of the optimal transport map. We show the absolute continuity property of Wassertein geodesics, and we address the regularity issue of the optimal m...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
