A stochastic approach to relativistic diffusions (Q1958514)

The purpose of the author is threefold: -- first, to unify the presentation of a relativistic diffusions introduced separately by probabilistics (Dudley, Franchie-Le Jan, Angst-Franchi) and by theoretical physicists (Debbasch and al.); -- second, to exhibit a ``one particle distribution function'', density of the harmonic measure of a Cauchy hypersurface, and to establish a non-trivial theorem stating that this function is co-harmonic; -- third, to prove an infinitesimal version of a ``\(H\)-theorem'', which states that under natural assumptions, the entropy cannot decrease, in the relativistic setting too, in accordance with the analogous property of classical (Boltzmann) statistical mechanics.
