Along 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.

Statement

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 d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N} satisfy 1≤d1\le d, let λd\lambda_{d} be Lebesgue measure on B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), and let densities with respect to λd\lambda_{d} be those of The Radon-Nikodym Theorem for a Finite Measure and a Sigma-Finite Measure, and Uniqueness of Densities. Let μ,ν\mu,\nu belong to the set P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) of probability measures with finite second moment and be absolutely continuous, with densities ρ\rho and ρ1\rho_{1} with respect to λd\lambda_{d}. Let TT be an optimal map from μ\mu to ν\nu and SS an optimal map from ν\nu to μ\mu. Let G,G′⊆RdG,G'\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d} be open and convex with μ(G)=1\mu(G)=1 and ν(G′)=1\nu(G')=1, let φ:G→R\varphi:G\to\mathbb{R} be convex on GG and ψ:G′→R\psi:G'\to\mathbb{R} convex on G′G', with subdifferentials ∂Gφ\partial_{G}\varphi and ∂G′ψ\partial_{G'}\psi, and let D,D′∈B(Rd)D,D'\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) satisfy D⊆GD\subseteq G, D′⊆G′D'\subseteq G', μ(D)=1\mu(D)=1, ν(D′)=1\nu(D')=1, ∂Gφ(x)={T(x)}\partial_{G}\varphi(x)=\{T(x)\} for x∈Dx\in D and ∂G′ψ(y)={S(y)}\partial_{G'}\psi(y)=\{S(y)\} for y∈D′y\in D'. Twice differentiability at a point and the Hessian D2φ(x)D^{2}\varphi(x) are as fixed there, and det⁡\det is the determinant.

1. (Jacobian equation) There is X∈B(Rd)X\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) with X⊆DX\subseteq D and μ(X)=1\mu(X)=1 such that every x∈Xx\in X has the properties listed in Along an Optimal Map between Absolutely Continuous Measures the Hessians of the Two Convex Potentials are Inverse Matrices §hessians and satisfies

ρ(x)=ρ1(T(x)) det⁡D2φ(x),ρ(x)>0.\rho(x)=\rho_{1}(T(x))\,\det D^{2}\varphi(x),\qquad\rho(x)>0 .
