<description>We provide sufficient conditions under wich the center-outward distribution and quantile func-&#xd;
tions introduced in Chernozhukov et al. (2017) and Hallin (2017) are homeomorphisms, thereby&#xd;
extending a recent result by Figalli [12]. Our approach relies on Cafarelli’s classical regularity&#xd;
theory for the solutions of the Monge-Amp`ere equation, but has to deal with difficulties related&#xd;
with the unboundedness at the origin of the density of the spherical uniform reference measure.&#xd;
Our conditions are satisfied by probabillities on Euclidean space with a general (bounded or un-&#xd;
bounded) convex support which are not covered in [12]. We provide some additional results about&#xd;
center-outward distribution and quantile functions, including the fact that quantile sets exhibit&#xd;
some weak form of convexity.</description>
