Brownian motion and random walks on manifolds

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.

Brownian motion and transient groups

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper I consider M ˜ M a covering of a Riemannian manifold M . I prove that Green’s function exists on M ˜ if any and only if the symmetric translation invariant random walks on the covering group G are transient (under the assumption that M is compact).

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

Koléhè A. Coulibaly-Pasquier (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We generalize brownian motion on a riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent laplacians (inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested in the Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics. We give a notion of parallel transport along this brownian motion, and establish a generalization of the Dohrn–Guerra or damped...

Concentration of the Brownian bridge on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature

Marc Arnaudon, Thomas Simon (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the rate of concentration of a Brownian bridge in time one around the corresponding geodesical segment on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature, when the distance between the two extremities tends to infinity. This improves on previous results by A. Eberle, and one of us . Along the way, we derive a new asymptotic estimate for the logarithmic derivative of the heat kernel on such manifolds, in bounded time and with one space parameter...
