The aims of this book, originally published in 1982, are to give an understanding of the basic ideas concerning stochastic differential equations on manifolds and their solution flows, to examine the properties of Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds when it is constructed using the stochiastic development and to indicate some of the uses of the theory. The author has included two appendices which summarise the manifold theory and differential geometry needed to follow the development; coordinate-free notation is used throughout. Moreover, the stochiastic integrals used are those which can be obtained from limits of the Riemann sums, thereby avoiding much of the technicalities of the general theory of processes and allowing the reader to get a quick grasp of the fundamental ideas of stochastic integration as they are needed for a variety of applications.
This volume contains papers which were presented at a meeting entitled “Stochastic Analysis and Applications“ held at Gregynog Hall, Powys, from the 9th — 14th July 1995. The meeting consisted of a mixture of plenary/review talks and special interest sessions covering most of the current areas of activity in stochastic analysis. The meeting was jointly organized by the Department of Mathematics, University of Wales Swansea and the Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick in connection with the Stochastic Analysis year of activity. The papers contained herein are accessible to workers in the field of stochastic analysis and give a good coverage of topics of current interest in the research community.
The Taniguchi International workshop on "New Trends in Stochastic Analysis" was held at Charingworth Manor, Gloucestershire, England from September 21–27, 1994. The workshop was followed by a symposium held with the Mathematics Research Centre of the University of Warwick from Sep 28 to Oct 1. In these meetings several of the new directions that stochastic analysis is taking were discussed, ranging from analysis on fractals to analysis on loop spaces.This volume contains articles by 15 participants, reflecting this range of topics. Amongst them are discussed: Sobolev and logrithmic Sobolev inequalities for Markov semigroups, asymptotics for heat equations on the exterior of convex domains, 2 D stochastic Ising models, reaction diffusion equations with noise and new approaches to infinite dimensional stochastic analysis including a Malliavin type calculus for equations driven by "rough signals".
