This article is a review of some results concerning the stochastic analysis on loop groups. One considers a compact Lie group \(K\), as well as the path group and the loop group over \(K\). It is explained how one can construct a Laplacian, and therefore a Brownian motion, on these groups; in particular, the integration by parts formula is given. Then, if \(N_0\) is the Laplacian on the loop group, the main theorem says that the null space of \(N_0\) consists of functions which are constant on homotopy classes. This result is deduced from some analytic properties concerning functions on \(K\) and on its complexification. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00019].
