Abstract: In this paper we establish several geometric properties of the cross sections of generalized solutions $\phi $ to the Monge-Ampère equation $ \det D^{2}\phi = \mu $, when the measure $\mu $ satisfies a doubling property. A main result is a characterization of the doubling measures $\mu$in terms of a geometric property of the cross sections of $\phi $. This is used to obtain estimates of the shape and invariance properties of the cross sections that are valid under appropriate normalizations.
