We develop a “metrically selfdual” variational calculus for c-monotone vector fields between general manifolds X and Y, where c is a coupling on X×YX×Y. Remarkably, many of the key properties of classical monotone operators known to hold in a linear context extend to this non-linear setting. This includes an integral representation of c-monotone vector fields in terms of c-convex selfdual Lagrangians, their characterization as a partial c-gradients of antisymmetric Hamiltonians, as well as the property that these vector fields are generically single-valued. We also use a symmetric Monge–Kantorovich transport to associate to any measurable map its closest possible c-monotone “rearrangement”. We also explore how this metrically selfdual representation can lead to a global variational approach to the problem of inverting c-monotone maps, an approach that has proved efficient for resolving non-linear equations and evolutions driven by monotone vector fields in a Hilbertian setting.
