Existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 32 (2015) no. 6, pp. 1367-1377.

Let $\left(X,d,m\right)$ be a proper, non-branching, metric measure space. We show existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps for cost written as non-decreasing and strictly convex functions of the distance, provided $\left(X,d,m\right)$ satisfies a new weak property concerning the behavior of m under the shrinking of sets to points, see Assumption 1. This in particular covers spaces satisfying the measure contraction property.We also prove a stability property for Assumption 1: If $\left(X,d,m\right)$ satisfies Assumption 1 and $\stackrel{˜}{m}=g·m$, for some continuous function $g>0$, then also $\left(X,d,\stackrel{˜}{m}\right)$ verifies Assumption 1. Since these changes in the reference measures do not preserve any Ricci type curvature bounds, this shows that our condition is strictly weaker than measure contraction property.
