For the optimal maps between two absolutely continuous measures with finite second moment and their convex potentials, almost every point is one where both potentials are twice differentiable along the map, with positive definite, mutually inverse Hessians.

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 dNd\in\mathbb{N} satisfy 1d1\le d, and 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. 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,GRdG,G'\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d} be open and convex, so that they belong to B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) by Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation §borel, with μ(G)=1\mu(G)=1 and ν(G)=1\nu(G')=1; let φ:GR\varphi:G\to\mathbb{R} be convex on GG and ψ:GR\psi:G'\to\mathbb{R} convex on GG', with subdifferentials Gφ\partial_{G}\varphi and Gψ\partial_{G'}\psi; and let D,DB(Rd)D,D'\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) satisfy DGD\subseteq G, DGD'\subseteq G', μ(D)=1\mu(D)=1, ν(D)=1\nu(D')=1 and

Gφ(x)={T(x)}(xD),Gψ(y)={S(y)}(yD).\partial_{G}\varphi(x)=\{T(x)\}\quad(x\in D),\qquad\partial_{G'}\psi(y)=\{S(y)\}\quad(y\in D').

Twice differentiability at a point and the Hessians D2φ(x)D^{2}\varphi(x) and D2ψ(y)D^{2}\psi(y) are as fixed there, det\det is the determinant, and positive definiteness is as defined there.

1. (Inverse Hessians along the map) There is XB(Rd)X\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) with XDX\subseteq D and μ(X)=1\mu(X)=1 such that every xXx\in X satisfies: T(x)DT(x)\in D' and S(T(x))=xS(T(x))=x; φ\varphi is twice differentiable at xx with first-order coefficient T(x)T(x); ψ\psi is twice differentiable at T(x)T(x) with first-order coefficient xx; the matrices D2φ(x)D^{2}\varphi(x) and D2ψ(T(x))D^{2}\psi(T(x)) are positive definite; and

D2ψ(T(x))D2φ(x)=Id,detD2φ(x)detD2ψ(T(x))=1.D^{2}\psi(T(x))\,D^{2}\varphi(x)=I_{d},\qquad\det D^{2}\varphi(x)\cdot\det D^{2}\psi(T(x))=1 .
