For any given integer N larger than 2, we show that every bounded measurable vector field on a bounded domain in Euclidean space is N-cyclically monotone up to a measure preserving N-involution. The proof involves the solution of a multidimensional symmetric Monge-Kantorovich problem, which we first study in the case of a general cost function. The proof exploits a remarkable duality between measure preserving transformations that are N-involutions and Hamiltonian functions that are N-cyclically antisymmetric.
