A probabilistic Weitzenböck formula on Riemannian path space (Q1580486): Difference between revisions

This note is concerned with infinite-dimensional differential geometry. The authors are interested in formulae describing commutation between an elliptic operator and the gradient operator [see \textit{A. P. Calderon}, in: Proc. int. Congr. Math., Helsinki 1978, Vol. 1, 85-96 (1980; Zbl 0429.35077)]. The purpose of this note is to show that, in a properly restricted framework, another expression for the De Rham-Hodge-Kodaira generator can be obtained. The ideas of this note are the following: 1. As far as possible the authors want to work only with vector fields [see \textit{A. B. Cruzeiro} and \textit{P. Malliavin}, in: Harmonic analysis and partial differential equations, 151-162 (1999; Zbl 0954.60045)]. 2. Exact differential \(I\)-forms are never adapted. Differential forms have been treated in a non-symmetric way with vector fields and the authors use the duality between vector fields and differential forms instead of identifying these two dual through a Riemannian metric. The building block of the commutative computations is the bracket formula of two constant vector fields. This formula is called the structural equation. In the first part, entitled ``Riemannian path space as parallelized manifold'' the results of \textit{A.~B. Cruzeiro} and \textit{P. Malliavin} [J. Funct. Anal. 139, No. 1, 119-181 (1996; Zbl 0869.60060)]are obtained. The second part ``Modified Markovian connection'', considers all the computations of the preceding paragraph which have been made for constant vector fields. The third part treats the intertwining formula for elliptic operators. The fourth part considers algebraic exponentiation of interwining relation.
