Symmetric Monge-Kantorovich transport problems involving a cost function given by a family of vector fields were used by Ghoussoub-Moameni to establish polar decompositions of such vector fields into $m$-cyclically monotone maps composed with measure preserving $m$-involutions ($m\geq 2$). In this note, we relate these symmetric transport problems to the Brenier solutions of the Monge and Monge-Kantorovich problem, as well as to the Gangbo-Święch solutions of their multi-marginal counterparts, both of which involving quadratic cost functions.

Keywords: $m$-cyclically antisymmetric functions., Monge-Kantorovich duality, $m$-cyclically monotone vector fields, Mass transport.
