The Lie bracket of adapted vector fields on Wiener spaces (Q1283973): Difference between revisions

Let \((W(M), \nabla)\) denote the Wiener space over a compact Riemannian manifold \(M\) equipped with a torsion skew-symmetric metric connection \(\nabla\). Starting from a tangent process \(h\) on \(W(T_0 M)\) (roughly a \(T_0M\)-valued continuous semi-martingale with Malliavin derivative given by a skew-symmetric matrix-valued process), and raising it by parallel transport to a tangent process \(\widetilde{h}\) on \(W(M)\), the author defines an associated adapted vector field \(X^h\) on \(W(M)\), which can be obtained by derivation of some approximate flow on \(M\). The main result then is that, under some regularity assumption, this class of adapted vector fields \(X^h\) is stable under Lie bracket. Moreover, the tangent process \(l\) such that \([X^h, X^k]= X^l\) is explicitly calculated as a function of the sufficiently smooth tangent processes \(h\) and \(k\) and of the geometry of \((M,\nabla)\).
