Abstract: This paper concerns the regularity and geometry of the free boundary in the optimal partial transport problem for general cost functions. More specifically, we prove that a $C^1$ cost implies a locally Lipschitz free boundary. As an application, we address a problem discussed by Caffarelli and McCann cite{CM} regarding cost functions satisfying the Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition (A3): if the non-negative source density is in some $L^p(mathbb{R}^n)$ space for $pin(fracn+12,infty]$ and the positive target density is bounded away from zero, then the free boundary is a semiconvex $C_{loc}^{1,alpha}$ hypersurface. Furthermore, we show that a locally Lipschitz cost implies a rectifiable free boundary and initiate a corresponding regularity theory in the Riemannian setting.
