Abstract: We study Sobolev a priori estimates for the optimal transportation $T=ablaPhi$ between probability measures $mu=e^{-V}dx$ and $u=e^{-W}dx$ on $R^d$. Assuming uniform convexity of the potential $W$ we show that $int|D^{2}Phi{|}_{HS}^{2}dmu$, where $|cdot{|}_{HS}$ is the Hilbert-Schmidt norm, is controlled by the Fisher information of $mu$. In addition, we prove similar estimate for the $L^p(mu)$-norms of $|D^{2}Phi|$ and obtain some $L^p$-generalizations of the well-known Caffarelli contraction theorem. We establish a connection of our results with the Talagrand transportation inequality. We also prove a corresponding dimension-free version for the relative Fisher information with respect to a Gaussian measure.
