2 1 Markov processes: trivia. 2 Stochastic analysis for additive functionals. 3 Applications to geometry.
3 Markov processes X locally compact separable metric space. A stochastic process Y = (Y t ) t 0 is Markov process with state space X if (very loosely speaking!) there is a family (P x ) x X of p.m. s on (Ω, F) such that x P x (Y t A) is a Borel function for all Borel sets A X and all t 0, with F t := σ(y s : s t) we have P x [Y t+s A F t ] = P Y t [Y s A] for all s, t 0 and A X Borel ( process forgets past, given present )
4 Example d-dim. Brownian motion (B t ) t 0 (with varying starting points) is a Markov process with state space R d.
5 Consider suitable volume measure m on X ( speed measure ). Y is m-symmetric if E m [f (Y t )g(y 0 )] = E m [f (Y 0 )g(y t )] for all t > 0 and bounded Borel f, g. Here P m = X Px m(dx) and E m expectation w.r.t. P m.
6 There is a probability kernel P t (x, dy) such that P x (Y t A) = P t (x, dy). By m-symmetry A P t f (x) := E x [f (Y t )] defines a strongly continuous Markovian semigroup (P t ) t 0 of symmetric operators on L 2 (X, m) with generator 1 Lf := lim t 0 t (P tf f ), f dom L. L non positive definite self-adjoint on L 2 (X, m).
7 Example For d-dim. Brownian motion (B t ) t 0 have P t f (x) = p(t, x y)f (y)dy R d with symmetric on L 2 (R d ). Generator is p(t, x) = 1 ) exp ( x 2, 2πt 2t 1 2 = 1 2 f 2 x 2 i i (Friedrichs extension ( 1 2, H2 (R d )).
8 Connect with martingale theory: Theorem (Doob, Kakutani, Dynkin) If f dom L (and nice) then for q.e. x X f (Y t ) f (Y 0 ) t is a P x -martingale (w.r.t. natural filtration ). 0 (Lf )(Y s )ds
9 Example If (B t ) t 0 Brownian motion on R d and f is C 2 then Itô formula holds, f (B t ) f (B 0 ) 1 2 t 0 ( f )(B s )ds = i t 0 f x i (B s )db i s. If h harmonic then h(b t ) forms martingale for any P x.
10 Energy and additive functionals Relax hypotheses by using energy forms. Consider the unique symmetric positive definite bilinear form (Q, dom Q) on L 2 (X, m) such that Q(f, g) := (Lf, g) L2 (X,m), f dom L, g dom Q. (Dirichlet form). Examples (B t ) t 0 d-dim Brownian motion, then Q(f, g) = 1 f g dx, 2 R d f, g H 1 (R d ) dom = H 2 (R d ).
11 Theorem (Fukushima) If f dom Q and nice, then M [f ] t = f (Y t ) f (Y 0 ) N [f ] t (uniquely) where (M [f ] t ) t 0 a continuous martingale additive functional of Y of finite energy, and (N [f ] t ) t 0 an continuous additive functional of Y of zero energy. This is sth. like a semimartingale decomposition. Problem: family (P x ) x X of p.m. s.
12 Additive functionals: Examples If B Brownian motion on R d then A t = t 0 g(b s )ds is a continuous additive functional of B, additivity property is t+s 0 g(b r )dr = s 0 t g(b r )dr + g(b r+s )dr a.s. 0
13 Space of continuous AF s of zero energy ( analytically nice ): N c := {N : N finite continuous AF of Y with e(n) = 0 where ( finite quadratic variation part ) and such that E x ( N t ) < + q.e. for each t > 0}, 1 e(m) = lim t 0 2t Em (Mt 2 ).
14 Space of martingale additive functionals of finite energy ( probabilistically nice ): M = {M : M AF of Y with e(m) < such that } for q.e. x X, E x (Mt 2 ) < and E x (M t ) = 0, t > 0, The space ( M, e) is Hilbert.
15 To each M M assign energy measure µ M... Revuz measure of its sharp bracket M : For q.e. x X, M 2 M is a P x -martingale (Doob-Meyer version). For h 0 Borel and f dom Q (nice) have ( t ) E hm f (Y s )d M s = 0 t 0 X E x h(y s )f (x) µ M (dx)ds, t > 0. ( Fubini with trading strange scaling (time change) between time and space )
16 Examples If B is BM on R d and µ(dx) = g(x)dx then µ is Revuz measure of Examples A t = t 0 g(b s )ds. If B is BM on R and δ y Dirac at y, then up to a constant, δ y is the Revuz measure of Brownian local time L(t, y), t 0 1 E (B s )ds = 2 L(t, y)dy, E R Borel. E
17 Stochastic integrals For f L 2 (X, µ M ) can define the stochastic integral f M M of f with respect to M M by e(f M, N) = 1 fdµ 2 M,N, N M. The integral f M is an L 2 -limit of sums f (Y ti )(M ti+1 M ti ) i (Itô type). Not known how to use general integrands. X
18 Example If B = (B 1,..., B d ) is the d-dim. Brownian motion, seen as Markov process, then { d } M = f i B i : f i L 2 (R d ), i = 1,..., d i=1 and ( d ) e f i B i = 1 2 i=1 d f i 2 L 2 (R d ). i=1
19 Definition (Motoo/Watanabe, Hino) The martingale dimension of (Y t ) t 0 is the smallest natural number p such that there exist M (1),..., M (p) M allowing the representation M t = p (h i M (i) ) t, t > 0, P x -a.e. for q.e. x X, i=1 with suitable h i L 2 (X, µ M (i) ) for every M M. If no such p exists, we define the martingale dimension to be infinity.
20 Examples Martingale dimension of d-dim. Brownian motion is d. Additive functional version of martingale representation. Exact relation between the formulations is not yet understood.
21 (B t ) t 0 one dim. Brownian motion ( on a p. space (Ω, F, P), ) F t := σ(b s : 0 s t), F := σ t 0 F t. Lemma For all random variables F L 2 (Ω, F, P) there exists a unique predictable process H which is in L 2 and satisfies F = EF + 0 H s db s P a.s. ( space of stochastic integrals is large ).
22 Now based on d-dim. Brownian motion (B 1,..., B d ): Theorem Let (M t ) t 0 be an d-dim. L 2 -integrable (F t ) t 0 -martingale. Then there are a constant C and predictable processes H i, i = 1,..., d in L 2 such that d t M t = C + HsdB i s i a.s. i=1 Think of d as degree of freedom for heat particle. 0

30 Interest: Geometry, analysis, stochastic processes, math. physics on rough spaces (no rectifiability or curvature dimension bounds, fractals ) Study microstructure... complement homogenization. Problem: Credo: Classical differentiation unavailable. Diffusion processes exist and can be used. Dimension issues (topological, Hausdorff, martingale,...) Diffusion does not need smoothness.
31 Some applications / motivations: Waveguides for optical high frequency signals. Fractal antennas Fractal structuring : Separating layers between polymer films. Ultra light weight materials. Networks at different scales. Fractal microcavities. Nanotubes. Geometric learning and pattern recognition. Space-time scaling in models for quantum gravity.

37 Construct energy functional as the (rescaled) limit E(f ) = E(f ) = lim n ( 5 3 ) n f (x) 2 dx p,q V n, q p (f (p) f (q)) 2 of discrete energy forms on approximating graphs (Kigami 89, 93, Kusuoka 93)
38
39 Get a space F of functions on SG with finite energy, i.e. E : F [0, + ). Simultaneously get a (resistance) metric d R on SG so that F C(SG) (Sobolev embedding theorem).
40 Construction is purely combinatorial. With any reasonable finite Borel measure µ on SG the pair (E, F) becomes a Dirichlet form on L 2 (SG, µ). Integration by parts also yields Laplacian (generator) µ for (speed) measure µ, E(f, g) = f µ g dµ. SG ( Second derivative on fractals ) Fukushima s theory yields associated diffusion ( Brownian motion on SG )
41 Analytic counterpart Recall P t f (x) = E x [f (Y t )], where (Y t ) t 0 diffusion on X. Then 1 Q(f, g) := lim t 0 2t (f P tf, g) L2 (X,m). (Q, dom Q) strongly local regular symmetric Dirichlet form on L 2 (X, m). The core C := C c (X) dom Q is an algebra.
42 On C C consider the nonnegative def. symmetric bilinear form a b, c d H := Q(bda, c) + Q(a, bdc) Q(ac, bd). Factoring out zero seminorm elements yields Hilbert space H of differential 1-forms / vector fields. (Mokobodzki, LeJan, Nakao, Lyons/Zhang, Eberle, Cipriani/Sauvageot, etc.) Close to algebra and NCG.
43 H can be given module structure the operator : C H with f := f 1 is a bounded derivation ( f is H-class universal derivation / Kähler differential of f ). Examples M compact Riemannian manifold, (Y t ) t 0 Brownian motion on M, Q(f, g) = df, dg T M dvol, f, g H1 (M), M dvol Riemannian volume, d exterior derivative. Then H = L 2 (M, dvol, T M) and coincides with d.
44 Theorem There are a suitable measure ν and suitable Hilbert spaces H x such that H may be written as direct integral, H = X H x ν(dx). The fibers H x may be regarded as (co)tangent spaces at x to X. Examples Manifold case: H x = Tx M for dvol-a.e. x.
45 Theorem The spaces H and M are isometrically isomorphic under g f g M [f ]. (Nakao: manifolds, H./Teplyaev/Röckner: fractals) Theorem (Hino) The martingale dimension of (Y t ) t 0 equals ess sup x X dim H x. ( maximal degree of freedom for diffusing particle is essentially given by maximal tangent space dimension )
46 Examples The (harmonic) Sierpinski gasket has tangent spaces of dimension one a.e.
47 Play with this correspondence: gradient f... martingale AF M [f ] divergence v... Revuz measure (density) of Nakao functional vector field g f... stochastic integral g M [f ] etc.
48 Some results Theorem with Stratonovich integral P a,v t f (x) := E x [e i Y ([0,t]) a t 0 v(ys)ds f (Y t )] Y ([0,t]) a := Θ(a) + is semigroup for magnetic Hamiltonian Θ : H M Nakao isomorphism. t 0 ( a)(y s )ds H a,v = ( + ia) ( + ia) + v. ( Feynman-Kac-Itô, H. 14)
49 Theorem Hodge theorem in topo dim one: H = Im (locally) harmonic forms. (Ionescu/Rogers/Teplyaev 11, H./Teplyaev 12) Theorem Harmonic forms give Čech cohomology (Ionescu/Rogers/Teplyaev 11, H./Teplyaev 12)
50 Theorem If topo dimension is one (but Hausdorff dim ), Navier-Stokes system reduces to Euler equation. (H./Teplyaev 12)
51 Q k = log((2k + 1)2 1) = log(4k2 + 4k) < 2 Theorem log(2k + 1) log(2k + 1) orsifregular topo dimension in that dimension. is one, then either martingale dimension is one or ting exterior point derivation for our investigations is not closable. was the following well-known fact. n(h./teplyaev 1.4.
