  • absolute continuity of heat kernel Measure with pinned Wiener Measure on loop groups
    Annals of Probability, 2001
    Co-Authors: Bruce K Driver, Vikram K Srimurthy
    Abstract:

    Let t > 0, K be a connected compact Lie group equipped with an Ad K - invariant inner product on the Lie Algebra of K. Associated to this data are two Measures μ 0 t and νt 0 on L(K) - the space of continuous loops based at e e K. The Measure μ 0 t is pinned Wiener Measure with variance t while the Measure ν 0 t is a heat kernel Measure on L(K). The Measure μ 0 t is constructed using a K - valued Brownian motion while the Measure ν 0 t is constructed using a L(K) - valued Brownian motion. In this paper we show that ν 0 t is absolutely continuous with respect to μ 0 t and the Radon-Nikodym derivative dν 0 t /dμ 0 t is bounded.

  • finite dimensional approximations to Wiener Measure and path integral formulas on manifolds
    Journal of Functional Analysis, 1999
    Co-Authors: Lars Andersson, Bruce K Driver
    Abstract:

    Abstract Certain natural geometric approximation schemes are developed for Wiener Measure on a compact Riemannian manifold. These approximations closely mimic the informal path integral formulas used in the physics literature for representing the heat semi-group on Riemannian manifolds. The path space is approximated by finite dimensional manifolds H P ( M ) consisting of piecewise geodesic paths adapted to partitions P of [0, 1]. The finite dimensional manifolds H P ( M ) carry both an H 1 and a L 2 type Riemannian structures, G 1 P and G 0 P , respectively. It is proved that (1/ Z i P )  e −(1/2)  E ( σ ) d  Vol G i P ( σ )→ ρ i ( σ )  dν ( σ ) as mesh ( P )→0, where E ( σ ) is the energy of the piecewise geodesic path σ ∈ H P ( M ), and for i =0 and 1, Z i P is a “normalization” constant, Vol G i P is the Riemannian volume form relative to G i P , and ν is Wiener Measure on paths on M . Here ρ 1 ( σ )≡1 and ρ 0 ( σ )=exp(− 1 6  ∫ 1 0  Scal( σ ( s ))  ds ) where Scal is the scalar curvature of M . These results are also shown to imply the well known integration by parts formula for the Wiener Measure.

  • finite dimensional approximations to Wiener Measure and path integral formulas on manifolds
    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 1998
    Co-Authors: Lars Andersson, Bruce K Driver
    Abstract:

    Certain natural geometric approximation schemes are developed for Wiener Measure on a compact Riemannian manifold. These approximations closely mimic the informal path integral formulas used in the physics literature for representing the heat semi-group on Riemannian manifolds. The path space is approximated by finite dimensional manifolds consisting of piecewise geodesic paths adapted to partitions $P$ of $[0,1]$. The finite dimensional manifolds of piecewise geodesics carry both an $H^{1}$ and a $L^{2}$ type Riemannian structures $G^i_P$. It is proved that as the mesh of the partition tends to $0$, $$ 1/Z_P^i e^{- 1/2 E(\sigma)} Vol_{G^i_P}(\sigma) \to \rho_i(\sigma)\nu(\sigma) $$ where $E(\sigma )$ is the energy of the piecewise geodesic path $\sigma$, and for $i=0$ and $1$, $Z_P^i$ is a ``normalization'' constant, $Vol_{G^i_P}$ is the Riemannian volume form relative $G^i_P$, and $\nu$ is Wiener Measure on paths on $M$. Here $\rho_1 = 1$ and $$ \rho_0 (\sigma) = \exp( -1/6 \int_0^1 Scal(\sigma(s))ds ) $$ where $Scal$ is the scalar curvature of $M$. These results are also shown to imply the well know integration by parts formula for the Wiener Measure.

  • A Cameron-Martin type quasi-invariance theorem for pinned Brownian motion on a compact Riemannian manifold
    Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1994
    Co-Authors: Bruce K Driver
    Abstract:

    The results in Driver [13] for quasi-invariance of Wiener Measure on the path space of a compact Riemannian manifold ( M) are extended to the case of pinned Wiener Measure. To be more explicit, let h: [0, 1] -+ ToM be a C1 function where M is a compact Riemannian manifold, o E M is a base point, and ToM is the tangent space to M at o E M. Let W(M) be the space of continuous paths from [0,1] into M, v be Wiener Measure on W(M) concentrated on paths starting at o E M, and Hs (w) denote the stochastic-parallel translation operator along a path to E W(M) up to "time" s. (Note: Hs(w) is only well defined up to v-equivalence.) For c E W(M) let Xh(w) denote the vector field along a) given by Xsh(c) =Hs(cw)h(s) for each s E [0, 1]. One should interpret Xh as a vector field on W(M). The vector field Xh induces a flow Sh(t, -): W(M) -_ W(M) which leaves Wiener Measure (v) quasi-invariant, see Driver [13]. It is shown in this paper that the same result is valid if h(l) = 0 and the Wiener Measure (v) is replaced by a pinned Wiener Measure (ive). (The Measure ve is proportional to the Measure v conditioned on the set of paths which start at 0 E M and end at a fixed end point e E M.) Also as in [13], one gets an integration by parts formula for the vector-fields Xh defined above.

  • integration and approximation of multivariate functions average case complexity with isotropic Wiener Measure
    Journal of Approximation Theory, 1994
    Co-Authors: Grzegorz W Wasilkowski
    Abstract:

    Abstract We study the average case complexity of multivariate integration and L 2 function approximation for the class F = C ([0, 1] d ) of continuous functions of d variables. The class F is endowed with the isotropic Wiener Measure (Brownian motion in Levy′s sense). For the integration problem, the average case complexity of solving the problem to within ϵ is proportional to ϵ -2/(1 + 1/ d ) . This is a negative result since for a large number d of variables, the average case complexity is close to ϵ −2 ; the latter is also achieved by the classical Monte Carlo method in the randomized worst case setting. Furthermore, Θ(ϵ −2 ) is the highest possible average case complexity among all probability Measures with finite expectation of || ƒ 2 L 2 . Thus, for large d , the average case complexity of the integration problem with isotropic Wiener Measure behaves as the worst possible average complexity. For the function approximation problem, the complexity is even higher since it is proportional to ϵ −2 d . These two negative results are in a sharp contrast to (H. Woźniakowski, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 24 , No. 1 (1991), 185-194; Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. , to appear), where, for F endowed with the Wiener sheet Measure, small average case complexities have been proven. Indeed, they are of order ϵ −1 (log ϵ −1 ) ( d −1)/2 and ϵ −2 (log ϵ −1 ) 2( d −1) for the integration and function approximation problems, respectively. cccc

  • integration and approximation of multivariate functions average case complexity with isotropic Wiener Measure
    arXiv: Numerical Analysis, 1993
    Co-Authors: Grzegorz W Wasilkowski
    Abstract:

    We study the average case complexity of multivariate integration and $L_2$ function approximation for the class $F=C([0,1]^d)$ of continuous functions of $d$ variables. The class $F$ is endowed with the isotropic Wiener Measure (Brownian motion in Levy's sense). Furthermore, for both problems, only function values are used as data.
