Abstract: We study damped geodesic motion of a particle of mass m on a Riemannian manifold, in the presence of an external force and noise. Lifting the resulting stochastic differential equation to the orthogonal frame bundle, we prove that, as mo0, its solutions converge to solutions of a limiting equation which includes a {it noise-induced drift} term. A very special case of the main result presents Brownian motion on the manifold as a limit of inertial systems.
