We prove that in metric measure spaces where the entropy functional is Kconvex
along every Wasserstein geodesic any optimal transport between two absolutely continuous
measures with finite second moments lives on a non-branching set of geodesics. As a
corollary we obtain that in these spaces there exists only one optimal transport plan between
any two absolutely continuous measures with finite second moments and this plan is given
by a map.
The results are applicable in metric measure spaces having Riemannian Ricci curvature
bounded below, and in particular they hold also for Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Riemannian
manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below by some constant.

Slopes of Kantorovich potentials and existence of optimal transport maps in metric measure spaces
Ambrosio, Luigi; Rajala, Tapio (Springer, 2014)We study optimal transportation with the quadratic cost function in geodesic metric spaces satisfying suitable non-branching assumptions. We introduce and study the notions of slope along curves and along geodesics and we ... -
Failure of Topological Rigidity Results for the Measure Contraction Property
Ketterer, Christian; Rajala, Tapio (Springer Netherlands, 2015)We give two examples of metric measure spaces satisfying the measure contraction property MCP(K, N) but having different topological dimensions at different regions of the space. The first one satisfies MCP(0, 3) and ... -
On a class of singular measures satisfying a strong annular decay condition
Arroyo, Ángel; Llorente, José G. (American Mathematical Society, 2019)A metric measure space (X, d, t) is said to satisfy the strong annular decay condition if there is a constant C > 0 such that for each x E X and all 0 < r < R. If do., is the distance induced by the co -norm in RN, we ... -
Existence of optimal transport maps in very strict CD(K,∞) -spaces
Schultz, Timo (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)We introduce a more restrictive version of the strict CD(K,∞) -condition, the so-called very strict CD(K,∞) -condition, and show the existence of optimal maps in very strict CD(K,∞) -spaces despite the possible ... -
A maximal Function Approach to Two-Measure Poincaré Inequalities
Kinnunen, Juha; Korte, Riikka; Lehrbäck, Juha; Vähäkangas, Antti (Springer New York, 2019)This paper extends the self-improvement result of Keith and Zhong in Keith and Zhong (Ann. Math. 167(2):575–599, 2008) to the two-measure case. Our main result shows that a two-measure (p, p)-Poincaré inequality for ...
