McCann's Jacobian Equation Along an Optimal Map Between Absolutely Continuous Measures
lemmaAnalysisProbabilitylem:jacobian-equation-optimal-map-euclidean-2026aAlong the optimal map between two absolutely continuous measures with finite second moment, the density of the source equals the density of the target at the image point times the determinant of the Hessian of the convex potential, almost everywhere for the source.
In the setting of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation and Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation, let satisfy , let be Lebesgue measure on , and let densities with respect to be those of The Radon-Nikodym Theorem for a Finite Measure and a Sigma-Finite Measure, and Uniqueness of Densities. Let belong to the set of probability measures with finite second moment and be absolutely continuous, with densities and with respect to . Let be an optimal map from to and an optimal map from to . Let be open and convex with and , let be convex on and convex on , with subdifferentials and , and let satisfy , , , , for and for . Twice differentiability at a point and the Hessian are as fixed there, and is the determinant.
