Weak MTW curvature gives convexity and regular optimal transport
What the paper claims, in its own words
On every closed connected Riemannian manifold of dimension at least two satisfying weak Ma–Trudinger–Wang curvature, all tangent injectivity domains are convex, resolving Villani’s conjecture in this setting. For squared-distance transport between measurable probability densities bounded above and away from zero, the optimal map and its inverse are Hölder continuous.
