What do we know about Poisson boundaries of arbitrary Riemannian manifolds?
For closed manifolds, we know that the Poisson boundary is trivial due to compactness and for radially symmetric manifolds for which diffusion is one dimensional, there are A Brief Introduction to ...

Elworthy’s 1982 “Stochastic Differential Equations on Manifolds” - relevant?
In 1982, D. Elworthy published “Stochastic Differential Equations on Manifolds”. Apparently, this was quite a seminal book in the field of stochastic DE’s/processes on manifolds. Is this reference ...

Intuition for the Drift Term of the Laplace-Beltrami Operator
In coordinates, the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ can be written as:
$$
\Delta_g = g^{ij}\partial_{ij} - g^{jk}\Gamma^\ell_{jk}\partial_\ell
$$
The second term:
$$
\mu^\...

Conditional Wiener measure continuous
consider a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with heat kernel $p_M$ and let $U\subset M$ be an open set. Let $W_{x,t}^{y}$ be the Wiener measure associated to the Brownian motion starting at $x$ and ...

Carre du Champ, Subunit Paths and CC-metrics
Let the operator $L$ be given by $Lf(x):=\nabla\cdot (A\nabla f(x))$, where $f:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ belongs to a suitable class of functions $\mathcal{A}$. The carre du champ operator $\...

Stochastic interpretation of heat kernel on fiber bundle
I'm looking for a stochastic interpretation of the heat equation for vector valued function.
The classical set up is the following :
If $(M,g)$ is a riemannian manifold then we could consider the ...

Ito Diffusions with low regularity?
I would like to have an Itô Diffusion
$$ X_t = \int_0^t b(s) \mathrm{d}s + \int_0^t \sigma(s) \mathrm{d}B_s.$$
where the (vector- and matrix-valued, respectively) functions $b$ and $\sigma$ have lower ...
