Restrictive Definition

It has been shown in Refs. 2–6 that two natural definitions of surface measures, on the space of continuous paths in a compact Riemannian manifold embedded into ℝn, introduced in the paper by Smolyanov1 are equivalent; this means that there exists a natural object — the surface measure, which we call the Smolyanov surface measure. Moreover, it has been shown2–6 that this surface measure is equivalent to the Wiener measure and the corresponding density has been found. But the known proof of the equivalence of the two definitions of the surface measure is rather nonexplicit; in fact the densities of the measures corresponding to the two different definitions were found independently and only a posteriori it was discovered that those densities coincided. Our aim is to give a direct proof of this fact. We introduce a more restrictive definition of the surface measure as the weak limit of a standard Brownian motion in ℝn conditioned to be in the tubular ε-neighborhood of the manifold at times 0=t0<t1<⋯<tn-1<tn= 1 as both ε and the diameter of the partition tend to zero. Letting ε and then the diameter of the partition tend to zero and vice versa, we arrive at the two definitions above. We prove the existence of the Smolyanov surface measure using our definition, show that this measure is equivalent to the law of a Brownian motion on the manifold, and compute the corresponding density in terms of the curvature of the manifold. As a special case of this, we again obtain the results of Refs. 2–6.

Abstract We consider the symmetric exclusion process on suitable random grids that approximate a compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that a class of random walks on these random grids converge to Brownian motion on the manifold. We then consider the empirical density field of the symmetric exclusion process and prove that it converges to the solution of the heat equation on the manifold.

Stratonovich Differential

We study harmonic and totally invariant measures in a foliated compact Riemannian manifold. We construct explicitly a Stratonovich differential equation for the foliated Brownian motion. We present a characterization of totally invariant measures in terms of the flow of diffeomorphisms associated to this equation. We prove an ergodic formula for the sum of the Lyapunov exponents in terms of the geometry of the leaves.

SynopsisClassically the tangent sphere bundles have formed a large class of contact manifolds; their contact structures are not in general regular, however. Specifically we prove that the natural contact structure on the tangent sphere bundle of a compact Riemannian manifold of non-positive constant curvature is not regular.
