Stochastic analysis on Riemannian manifolds Hsu, Elton

Description

We will discuss several problems related to stochastic analysis on manifolds, especially analysis on the path space over a Riemannian manifold based on the Wiener measure (Riemannian Brownian motion), an area of stochastic analysis that Bruce Driver made groundbreaking contribution. These include the quasi-invariance of the Wiener measure under the Cameron-Martin flow, integration by parts formula and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality as well as the more general Becknerâ s inequality on the path space. We survey the history of path space analysis and highlight some of its most recent developments such as sharp constants for functional inequalities and time-dependent Riemannian metrics.
