Abstract

In many modern approaches to solving Monge's mass transport problem (that is, optimal transport with respect to linear costs) in various metric spaces, one attempts to reduce the problem to one dimension by decomposing the measures along so-called transport (geodesic) rays. Certain key Lipschitz estimates on geodesics are needed in order provide such a decomposition. Herein these estimates for the (three dimensional, sub-Riemannian) Heisenberg Group are provided as a step towards solving Monge's problem in this metric space.
