Bismut type formulae for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (Q2503155): Difference between revisions

The celebrated Bismut formula expresses the derivative of the heat kernel (relative to an elliptic operator on a manifold), by means of a path integral. The purpose of the authors here is to get rapidly enough Bismut-like formulae, in which the Ricci curvature stands out, using Malliavin calculus along tangent processes. They stress on the case where the connection has torsion.
