Diffusion Processes on Manifolds

چکیده
This is an informal introduction to stochastic analysis on both Riemanian and Lorentzian manifolds. We review the basics underlying the construction of diffusions on manifolds, highlighting the important differences between the Riemanian and Lorentzian cases. We also discuss a few recent applications which range from biophysics to cosmology.

Diffusion Correction to Slow Invariant Manifolds in a Short Length Scale Limit
Slow Invariant Manifolds (SIM) are calculated for isothermal closed reaction-diffusion systems as a model reduction technique. Diffusion effects are examined using a Galerkin projection that rigorously accounts for the coupling of reaction and diffusion processes. This method reduces the infinite dimensional dynamical system by projecting it on a low dimensional approximate inertial manifold. A...
متن کاملBranching Markov processes on graphs and manifolds: from queueing theory to symmetric spaces
Branching Markov processes on graphs and manifolds naturally emerge in a number of applications including queueing networks with global synchronization control, reaction-diffusion equations, etc. Present talk extends earlier results by Lalley–Sellke and Karpelevich–Pechersky–Suhov for branching diffusions on a real hyperbolic space to the case of the complex hyperbolic space. Consider a timeand...
متن کاملA Statistical Study of two Diffusion Processes on Torus and Their Applications
Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been investigated by researchers in various disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes are laid on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data in physical, chemical and biological phenomena indicate that they cann...
متن کاملViscous detonation in H2–O2–Ar using intrinsic low-dimensional manifolds and wavelet adaptive multilevel representation
A standard ignition delay problem for a mixture of hydrogen–oxygen–argon in a shock tube is extended to the viscous regime and solved using the method of intrinsic low-dimensional manifolds (ILDM) coupled with a wavelet adaptive multilevel representation (WAMR) spatial discretization technique. An operator-splitting method is used to describe the reactions as a system of ordinary differential e...
متن کاملAnalytic bond pricing for short rate dynamics evolving on matrix Lie groups
Diffusion processes on manifolds and compact Lie groups have attracted significant attention in finance as they exhibit nonlinear and boundedness properties that make them suitable for the modeling of interest rates, cf. [3], [9]. For example, within the framework of the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) interest rate model, it is shown (cf. [7]) that one can characterize finite-dimensional HJM models ...
