2 The diffeomorphisms group The diffeomorphisms group M compact finite-dim. Riemannian manifold Here M = T 2 G s = {g H s (M, M) : g bijective, g 1 H s (M, M)} If s > 2, H s C 1 and is a (infinite dim.) Hilbert manifold, locally diffeomorphic to H s g(tm) = {X H s (M; TM) : πox = g}, π : TM M chart at g given by: ϕ : H s g(tm) {diffeom.on M} ϕ(x)(.) = exp ox(.) ( ) 2 / 19

3 The diffeomorphisms group G s is a group for composition of maps Lie algebra: G s = H s (TM)(= He(TM)) s (e = id) On G s we consider the Riemannian metric < X g, Y g > L 2= < X g (x), Y g (x) > dm(x) M for X, Y T g (G s (M)) = H s g(tm) (weak Riemannian structure, Ebin-Marsden) Volume preserving counterparts: G s V = {g Gs : (g) (dm) = dm} G s V = {X Hs : div X = 0} ( ) 3 / 19

4 The diffeomorphisms group G s V submanifold of Gs There exists a right-invariant Levi-Civita connection 0 : 0 X Y = P e( X Y ) where P e orth. projection into the divergence free part in the Hodge decomposition, H s (TM) = div 1 ({0}) L 2 grad H s+1 (M) ( ) 4 / 19

5 The diffeomorphisms group Hydrodynamics: Geodesic equation for 0 = Euler equation equaivalent to u t + (u. u) = p u t + 0 u(u) = p ( ) 5 / 19

6 Brownian motions Brownian motions On the Lie algebra we consider dx(t) = k (A k dx 1 k (t) + B kdx 2 k (t)) x i k i.i.d. real valued Br. motions, A k, B k L 2 o.n. basis: k Z 2 {(0, 0)}, k 2 = k k 2 2, i = θ i A k = 1 k [(k 2 cos k.θ) 1 (k 1 cos k.θ) 2 )] B k = 1 k [(k 2 sin k.θ) 1 (k 1 sin k.θ) 2 )] ( ) 6 / 19

7 Brownian motions Brownian motions on the group G V : dg(t) = oρ(x(t)) g(t), g(0) = e for ρ an Hermitian operator that diagonalizes in the basis A k and B k with the same eigenvalues λ k. Theorem. The process is well defined iff k λ2 k < Proof. Use S. Fang s methodology, e.g. Generator: ρ = 1 λ 2 k 2 ( 2 A k + B 2 k ) k Z f (g) = d dɛ ɛ=0f (exp (ɛz )g In particular no canonical L 2 Brownian motion. ( ) 7 / 19

8 Brownian motions Constants of structure: [A k, A l ] = [k, l] 2 k l ( k + l B k+l + k l B k l ) [k, l] [B k, B l ] = 2 k l ( k + l B k+l k l B k l ) [k, l] [A k, B l ] = 2 k l ( k + l A k+l k l A k l ) [ i, A k ] = k i B k [ i, B k ] = k i A k ( ) 7 / 19

9 Brownian motions For α k,l := 1 (l (l + k)) 2 k l k + l β k,l := α k,l = 1 (l (l k)) 2 k l k l Christoffel symbols: [k, l] = k 1 l 2 k 2 l 1 0 A k,a l = [k, l](α k,l B k+l + β k,l B k l ), 0 B k,b l = [k, l]( α k,l B k+l + β k,l B k l ) 0 A k,b l = [k, l]( α k,l A k+l +β k,l A k l ), 0 B k,a l = [k, l]( α k,l A k+l β k,l A k l ) ( ) 8 / 19

10 Brownian motions Remarks: 1. The Christoffel symbols give rise to unbounded antihermitian operators on G. 2. Since 0 A k,a k = 0 B k,b k = 0, Stratanovich = Itô in the equation for g(t). 3. We do not want use the metric < U, V > ρ =< ρ(u), V >. ( ) 9 / 19

11 Lifting to the frame bundle Lifting to the frame bundle Orthonormal frames above G V : r : T g (G V ) G V isometric isomorphism O(G V )= collection of o.n. frames (frame bundle) above G V it can be identified with S = U(G V ) G V where U stands for unitary group. Lie algebra of S= S = su (G V ) G V. Denote (σ, ω) the parallelism in S defined by the Levi-Civita connection. ( ) 10 / 19

12 Lifting to the frame bundle Lift of a vector filed Z : < Z, σ > U,g = UZ,..., < Z, ω >= 0 We have [ Z f ] o π = Z (foπ), π : S G V Lifted Laplacian: ρ = 1 λ 2 k 2 ( Bk ) Ã k k Then [ ρ f ] o π = ρ (foπ) generates the lifted ρ-brownian motion r x (t) π(r x (t)) = g(t) < odr x (t), ω >= 0 ( ) 11 / 19

13 Stochastic calculus of variations Stochastic calculus of variations Derivation of the Itô map x r x (t): Theorem.For r 0 S and given a semimartingale ξ with values in T r0 (S) with an antisymmetric diffusion coefficient, we have, < d dτ τ=0 r x (r 0 + τξ)(t), σ >= ξ x,t < d dτ τ=0 r x (r 0 + τξ)(t), ω >= γ x,t where dξ (t) = (Γ ξ x,t ρ ργ ξ x,t ) dx(t) + γ x,t (ρ dx(t)) with γ x,0 = 0 and ξ x,0 =< ξ, σ > dγ(t) = Ω(ξ (t), ρ dx(t)) ( ) 12 / 19

14 Stochastic calculus of variations Difficulty: We cannot choose ρ = Id and Γ ξ x,t ρ ργ ξ x,t is not antisymmetric. ( ) 13 / 19

15 Truncated diffusions Truncated diffusions Consider the case λ k = 1 for k N and λ k = 0 for k > N, ρ N the corresponding operator; Denote by r N x (t) the S-valued process for such this choice and call it truncated diffusion. ( r N x not finite dimensional projections: still infinite-dimensional, but driven by a finite number of Brownian motions) π( r N x,t) = g N x,t < d r N x,t, ω >= 0 where and dgx,t N = odx N (t)gx,t, N gx,0 N = e dx N (t) = (A k dxk 1 (t) + B kdxk 2 (t)) k N ( ) 14 / 19

16 Truncated diffusions Theorem. For r 0 S and given a semimartingale ξ with values in T r0 (S), with an antisymmetric diffusion coefficient, we have < d dτ τ=0 r N x (r 0 + τξ)(t), σ >= ξ N x,t < d dτ τ=0 r N x (r 0 + τξ)(t), ω >= γ N x,t where, for components k such that k N we have d(ξ N (t)) k = (γ N x,t( dx N (t)) k where γx,0 N = 0 and ξn x,0 =< ξ, σ >. dγ N (t) = Ω(ξ N (t), dx N (t)) Proof. As Γ antisymmetric, matrix (Γρ N ρ N Γ) k,j, with k, j N equal to zero. ( ) 15 / 19

17 Consequences Among the consequences Corollary.(Bismut formula) If Φ is a cylindrical functional on G V, we have d dτ τ=0e(φ(π( r x N,N (r 0 + τξ)))) = E(< [ r x N,N ] 1 (ζx,t), N DΦ > g N ) x,t where ζ N satisfies (dζ N ) k = (γ N x,tdx N (t)) k 1 2 (RicciN (ζ N (t))) k dt k N, and where Ricci N is the operator defined by Ricci N (Z ) = (Ω(A k, Z, A k ) + Ω(B k, Z, B k )) k N ( ) 16 / 19

18 Consequences Expression of the Ricci tensor: Ricci N (A j ) = k N Ricci N (B j ) = k N [k, j] 4 k 2 + j 2 k 2 j 2 k j 2 k + j 2 A j [k, j] 4 k 2 + j 2 k 2 j 2 k j 2 k + j 2 B j ( ) 17 / 19

19 Consequences Weitzenbock formulae: d( f ) l (df ) l Ricci ρ (df ) l = k,i ρ(k) 2 Γ i l,k ( k i f + i k f )+ k,m,j ρ(k) 2 (Γ l k,m [e j, e m ] k +Γ l m,k [e k, e j ] m ) j (e k = A k or B k ). ( ) 18 / 19

20 Consequences Back to Hydrodynamics: The equation is equivalent to u t + 0 u(u) + ν k N 0 k 0 k (u) + νriccin (u) = p u + (u. u) + νc(n) u = p t (Navier-Stokes equation) ( ) 19 / 19
