I will report on a recent work in collaboration with F. Cavalletti and A. Lerario, where we study complex projective hypersurfaces seen as probability measures on the projective space. Our guiding question is: “What is the best way to deform a complex projective hypersurface into another one?" Here the word best means from the point of view of measure theory and mass optimal transportation. In particular, we construct an embedding of the space of complex homogeneous polynomials into the probability measures on the projective space and study its intrinsic Wasserstein metric. The Kähler structure of the projective space plays a fundamental role and we combine different techniques from symplectic geometry to the Benamou-Brenier dynamical approach to optimal transportation to prove several interesting facts. Among them we show that the space of hypersurfaces with the Wasserstein metric is complete and geodesic: any two hypersurfaces (possibly singular) are always joined by a minimizing geodesic. Moreover outside the discriminant locus, the metric is induced by a Kähler structure of Weil-Petersson type. In the last part I will give an application to the condition number of polynomial equations solving.
