摘要

Caffarelli’s contraction theorem states that probability measures with uniformly log-concave densities on \(\mathbb {R}^d\) can be realized as the image of a standard Gaussian measure by a globally Lipschitz transport map. We discuss some counterexamples and obstructions that prevent a similar result from holding on the half-sphere endowed with a uniform measure, answering a question of Beck and Jerison.
