In this paper I consider a covering of a Riemannian manifold . I prove that Green’s function exists on if any and only if the symmetric translation invariant random walks on the covering group are transient (under the assumption that is compact).
Limiting laws, as t→∞, for brownian motion penalised by the longest length of excursions up to t, or up to the last zero before t, or again, up to the first zero after t, are shown to exist, and are characterized.
The paper deals with three issues. First we show a sufficient condition for a cylindrical local martingale to be a stochastic integral with respect to a cylindrical Wiener process. Secondly, we state an infinite dimensional version of the martingale problem of Stroock and Varadhan, and finally we apply the results to show that a weak existence plus uniqueness in law for deterministic initial conditions for an abstract stochastic evolution equation in a Banach space implies the strong Markov property....
