M. Arnaudon et al. / C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 346 (2008) 773–778 777Remark. With respect to a fixed metric, the damped parallel transport differs in general from the usual paralleltransport. In our case the evolution of the metric under the forward Ricci flow cancels the damping of the paralleltransport. A nice consequence for computations is that in this case the damped parallel transport is an isometry. Thisis not the case for the backward Ricci flow.3. Bismut formula for the Ricci flowWe intend to give a Bismut type gradient formula for the solution of Eq. (5), depending only on the initial condition(f 0 ,g(0)), see [3,4,9,1]. To this end, we derive the following integration by parts formula:Lemma 3.1. For any R n -valued process k in L 2 loc (B) where B is an Rn -valued Brownian motion,( ) [ ( )N t = df(T − t,·) X T t (x) UTt UT −1v0 −is a local martingale.∫t0k r dr]+ f ( T − t,Xt T (x) ) ∫ t0〈k r , dB r 〉 R nProof. By Proposition 1.3, f(T − t,Xt T (x)) is a martingale and its Itô differential is:d ( f ( T − t,Xt T (x) )) = df(T − t,·) X T t (x) U tT ( )UT −1ei0 dB i ,where (e i ) i=1,...,n is a g(T )-orthonormal basis of T x M,dB = (U0 T )−1 e i dB i . With Theorem 2.2 we get:dM∑dN t = − df(T − t,·) X T t (x) U tT ( )UT −1ei 〈 〉0 UT0 (k t ), e i T dt + d( f ( T − t,Xt T (x) )) 〈k t , dB〉 R nidM = −∑idf(T − t,·) X T t (x) U tT ( )UT −1ei 〈 〉0 UT0 (k t ), e i T dt+ df(T − t,·) X T t (x)( ∑i)(UtT ( )UT −1ei ∑0 dB i j〈kt , ( U T 0)) −1ej 〉dBjdM = 0,which proves the lemma.✷We can immediately deduce that the supremum of the gradient in the space variable of a solution to Eq. (5)decreases in time with a bound specified in the following corollary.Corollary 3.2. Let M 0 = sup M |f 0 |.ForT

I 346 (2008) 773–778The result follows.✷In the case of the normalized Ricci flow of surfaces (which is well understood), we can derive an estimate for thegradient of the scalar curvature. Let M be 2-dimensional, R(t) the scalar curvature, and r := ∫ M R(t)dvol/ ∫ M dvolits average (constant in time). We consider the normalized Ricci flow (which conserves the volume), i.e.,ddt g ij (t) = ( r − R(t) ) g ij (t).Remark 6. Hamilton (see [2]) gives a proof of all time existence of solutions to this equation. He also establishes aresult of convergence of such metrics to a metric of constant curvature.Proposition 3.3. For T>0, letX T t (x) be a 1 2 g(T − t)-BM(x) and //T 0,tbe the parallel transport along X T t (x).Further, for v ∈ T x M,letφ t v be the solution to the following Itô equation:// T 0,t d(( // T −1φt0,t)v ) =− ( 3r/2 − 2R ( T − t,Xt T (x) )) φ t v dt.Then dR(T − t,·) X T t (x) φ tv is a martingale, and the following estimate holds:∥∥∇ T R(T,x) ∥ ∥T sup∥∇ 0 R(0, ·) ∥ [ ( T0e −3rT/2 E exp 2R ( T − t,Xt T (x) ) )]dt .
