Functional integral formulas for the wave equation and other hyperbolic PDEs

The Feynman–Kac formula provides a functional (Wiener) integral representation of the solution $u$ to the heat equation \begin{align*} \partial_t u &= \frac{1}{2}\Delta_x u,\\ u(0,x) &= ...

Abstract Wiener spaces for pinned processes (e.g., Brownian Bridge)

In introductions to abstract Wiener spaces, the sample paths usually form a Banach space; so, in particular, the sum of two sample paths is a valid sample path and also an element of the Banach space. ...

Onsager-Machlup functional when drift is time-dependent

Let $X(t)$ be a diffusion process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ generated by \begin{align} \mathcal{D} = \nabla^2 + \sum_{i=1}^d b_i(x) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}, \end{align} where $b_i(x) \in \mathcal{C}_b^2(...

The Wiener measure of an open set

There is so much written about the Brownian motion and I suspect the answers to the questions below are hidden in somewhere in the literature but I cannot find them Denote by $E$ the Banach space ...

What exactly is the relation between the Wiener process and Wiener measure?

The Wiener measure is (in the classical sense) a Gaussian measure on the Banach space $C[0,1]:=\{f:[0,1] \to \mathbb{R} \mid f\text{ is continuous and } f(0)=1\}$. The Wiener process is a stochastic ...

Is there a generalised version of the Donsker invariance principle for a "sort-of continuous-time-random-walk"?

(The following question arises from my Math.SE question https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3643865.) Let $\rho$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R} \times (0,\infty)$, and writing $\ \pi_1 \...

Brownian level sets and continuous functions

Let $V_t$ and $W_t$ be independent standard Wiener processes ($t\ge 0$, $W_t,V_t\in\mathbb R$). Let $C$ be the event that there is a continuous function $f$ such that for all $s$, $t$, $$ W_t=W_s\iff ...

References about distances between singular probability measures

I would be interested in references on the topic of distances between probability measures that are singular with one another and not reduced to trivial ones. For example from here we know that total ...
