We formulate a free probabilistic analog of the Wasserstein manifold on Rd (the formal Riemannian manifold of smooth probability densities on Rd). The points of the free Wasserstein manifold are certain smooth tracial non-commutative functions which correspond to minus the log-density in the classical setting. The manifold structure allows to formulate and study a number of differential equations giving rise to non-commutative transport maps as well as analogs of measure-preserving transformations . One of the applications of our results is the optimality (in the sense of the Biane- Voiculescu 2-Wasserstein distance) of certain monotone optimal transport maps, which correspond to geodesics in our manifold (joint work by D. Jekel, W. Li and D. Shlyakhtenko).
