stochastic control / geometric mean
Consider the following problem:
Given $\Omega$ and $U$ two symmetric definite positive matrices, choose a matrix $K$ to minimize the expectation $x' \Omega x + x'K'UKx$ when $x$ follows the invariant ...

Feynman-Kac formula for domains with boundary
As far as I know (I am not an expert), any solution of the heat equation on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or on a closed Riemannian manifold with the given initial condition can be presented in terms of stochastic ...

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 ...

Brownian motion on a $\mathbb{Z}$-cover
Let $(M,g)$ a smooth closed Riemannian manifold with non trivial first homology group $H^1(M,\mathbb{R})$. Any element of $H^1(M,\mathbb{Z})$ will define a riemannian $\mathbb{Z}$-cover of $M$ ...

Assumptions for uniform measure of SDE on manifolds
Suppose we're working on a compact, Riemannian manifold $M$. Suppose $dX_t = -b(X_t, t)\,dt + \sigma^2 \,dB_t$ is started at the uniform measure on $M$. What kind of assumptions on $b$ make it so that ...

The Itō isometry for Riemannian manifolds
If $\alpha$ is a real smooth $1$-form, and if $\mathcal C$ is the space of continuous functions $c : [0,1] \to \mathbb R^n$, endowed with the Wiener measure $w$, and if $I_\alpha : \mathcal C \to \...

What is the Wiener measure of the set of curves with given Hölder constant on a Riemannian manifold?
Let $M$ be a connected Riemannian manifold and $x_0 \in M$. For $0 < \alpha < \frac 1 2$, let
$$H = \{ c : [0,1] \to M \mid c(0) = x_0 \text{ and } \exists C>0 \text { s.t. } d(c(s), c(t)) \...

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 ...

The stochastic parallel transport as a limit of piecewise geodesic parallel transports
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, and $E \to M$ be a vector bundle endowed with a connection $\nabla$. If $c:[0,1] \to M$ is a continuous curve, and if $\Delta = \{t_1, \dots, t_m\} \subset [0,1]$,...

Independent increments for the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold
In am not a probabilist, but I must do some stochastic-flavoured work on a connected Riemannian manifold $M$. A nice thing about the Brownian motion on $\mathbb R^n$ is that we may talk about its ...
