Pseudo-Riemannian geometry calibrates optimal transportation

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Given a transportation cost c:M×Mˉ→Rc: M \times\bar M \to\mathbf{R}, optimal maps minimize the total cost of moving masses from MM to Mˉ\bar M. We find a pseudo-metric and a calibration form on M×MˉM\times\bar M such that the graph of an optimal map is a calibrated maximal submanifold. We define the mass of space-like currents in spaces with indefinite metrics.
