Quantitative linearization results for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation

This paper is about quantitative linearization results for the Monge-Amp`ere equation with rough data. We develop a large-scale regularity theory and prove that if a measure $\mu$ is close to the Lebesgue measure in Wasserstein distance at all scales, then the displacement of the macroscopic optimal coupling is quantitatively close at all scales to the gradient of the solution of the corresponding Poisson equation. The main ingredient we use is a harmonic approximation result for the optimal transport plan between arbitrary measures. This is used in a Campanato iteration which transfers the information through the scales.
