Milman's contracting transport conjecture for positively Ricci-curved spheres
Let be a positive integer, let be a Riemannian sphere with volume measure , and suppose that
for some . Let be the canonical metric on rescaled so that
Milman's contracting transport conjecture. There exists a map
that pushes forward onto up to a finite constant and contracts the corresponding metrics. This is a finite-dimensional analogue of the Gaussian contraction theorem, but the supplied text gives no resolution status for it.
