Sharp one-third stability of Brenier maps

For uniform source measure ρ on a compact convex body with interior in dimension at least two, quadratic optimal transport maps satisfy ∥Tμ−Tν∥L2(ρ)≤CW2(μ,ν)1/3\|T_\mu-T_\nu\|_{L^2(\rho)}\le C W_2(\mu,\nu)^{1/3} uniformly over targets in a fixed compact set. The exponent is sharp, even for three-atom targets, disproving Letrouit's conjectured square-root bound.
