Brownian motion with respect to time-changingRiemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flowK.A. CoulibalyAbstractWe generalize Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold to the case ofa family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural forequations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent Laplacians(inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested inthe Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics.We give a notion of parallel transport along this Brownian motion, and establisha generalization of the Dohrn-Guerra or damped parallel transport,Bismut integration by part formulas, and gradient estimate formulas. One ofour main results is a characterization of the Ricci flow in terms of the dampedparallel transport. At the end of the paper we give a canonical definition ofthe damped parallel transport in terms of stochastic flows, and derive an intrinsicmartingale which may provide information about singularities of theflow.1 g(t)-Brownian motionLet M be a compact connected n-dimensional manifold which carries a family oftime-dependent Riemannian metrics g(t). In this section we will give a generalizationof the well known Brownian motion on M which will depend on the family ofmetrics. In other words, it will depend on the deformation of the manifold. Suchfamily of metrics will naturally come from geometric flows like mean curvature flowor Ricci flow. The compactness assumption for the manifold is not essential. Let∇ t be the Levi-Civita connection associated to the metric g(t), ∆ t the associatedLaplace-Beltrami operator. Let also (Ω, (F t ) t≥0 , F, P) be a complete probabilityspace endowed with a filtration (F t ) t≥0 satisfying ordinary assumptions like rightcontinuity and W be a R n -valued Brownian motion for this probability space.Definition 1.1 Let us take (Ω, (F t ) t≥0 , F, P) and a C 1,2 -family g(t) t∈[0,T [ of metricsover M. An M-valued process X(x) defined on Ω × [0, T [ is called a g(t)-Brownian motion in M started at x ∈ M if X(x) is continuous, adapted, and if361
for every smooth function f,is a local martingale.f(X s (x)) − f(x) − 1 2∫ s0∆ t f(X t (x)) dtWe shall prove existence of this inhomogeneous diffusion and give a notion ofparallel transport along this process.Let (e i ) i∈[1..d] be an orthonormal basis of R n , F(M) the frame bundle over M, πthe projection to M. For any u ∈ F(M), let L i (t, u) = h t (ue i ) be the ∇ t horizontallift of ue i and L i (t) the associated vector field. Further let V α,β be the canonicalbasis of vertical vector fields over F(M) defined by V α,β (u) = Dl u (E α,β ) where E α,βis the canonical basis of M n (R) and wherel u : GL n (R) → F(M)is the left multiplication. Finally let (O(M), g(t)) be the g(t) orthonormal framebundle.Proposition 1.2 Assume that g(t) t∈[0,T [ is a C 1,2 (t, x)-family of metrics over M,andA : [0, T [ × F(M) → M n (R)(t, U) ↦→ (A α,β (t, U)) α,βis locally Lipschitz in U unformly in all compact of t. Consider the Stratonovichdifferential equation in F(M):{ ∗dUt = ∑ ni=1 L i(t, U t ) ∗ dW i + ∑ α,β A α,β(t, U t )V α,β (U t ) dt(1.1)U 0 ∈ F(M) such that U 0 ∈ (O(M), g(0)).Then there is a unique symmetric choice for A such that U t ∈ (O(M), g(t)). Moreover:A(t, U) = − 1 2 ∂ 1G(t, U),where (∂ 1 G(t, U)) i,j = 〈Ue i , Ue j 〉 ∂tg(t) .Proof : Let us begin with curves. Let I be a real interval, π : T M → M theprojection, V and C two curves in C 1 (I, T M) such thatx(t) := π(V (t)) = π(C(t)), for all t ∈ IWe want to compute:d()〈V (t), C(t)〉dt g(t,x(t))| t=0237
