The Wasserstein barycenter is a way to interpolate between several probability measures that has become quite popular in machine learning and statistics. Such objects are characterized by an obstacle problem for a system of Monge-Ampère equations. I will give some regularity results and describe a regularization from which one can obtain further results, including a central limit theorem.
