Abstract: Building on the results of Ma, Trudinger and Wang cite{MTW}, and of the author cite{L5}, we study two problems of optimal transportation on the sphere: the first corresponds to the cost function d2(x,y), where d(cdot,cdot) is the Riemannian distance of the round sphere; the second corresponds to the cost function log|xy|, it is known as the reflector antenna problem. We show that in both cases, the {em cost-sectional curvature} is uniformly positive, and establish the geometrical properties so that the results of cite{L5} and cite{MTW} can apply: global smooth solutions exist for arbitrary smooth positive data and optimal maps are H"older continuous under weak assumptions on the data.
