There are many people and organisations to thank, including:
The London Mathematical Society;
and especially Heini Halberstam, John Williamson,
and Tom Willmore, for 'pre-natal' care on behalf of LMS; The Science Research Council, for generous financial support;
and especially
John Kingman, SRC assessor for this symposium, for his interest and sound advice; The Durham Mathematics Department;
and especially Tom Willmore, Peter Green, and
of course, Ed. Corrigan; Grey College, myoId home, for its usual warm hospitality;
Paul-Andre Meyer, for several valuable suggestions; My wife Sheila, and her father, the late great Edward Harrison, for a lot of work and for unlimited patience; Robert Elliott, my co-organiser, for effective troubleshooting in some moments of minor crisis, and for much helpfulness throughout two years; And Chris Rogers and Margaret Brook, whose very hard work somehow defeated my determined efforts to surpass Haydn, Wiener, and
in achieving a representation
of chaos.
But, above all, thanks are due to all participants:
for a marvellous time;
for fine mathematics; and, no less importantly, for fun and friendship.

The three introductory articles - by Elliott, Rogers, and myself -
are intended to help make some of the later material accessible to a wider audience. At the symposium, there was much interest in the Malliavin calculus. My introductory effort is intended to provide some background material for this topic and for related topics.

Some readers may be helped by this more-or-less self-contained introduction to some important concepts: stochastic integrals;
continuous semimartingales and the associated
the Stroock-Varadhan theorem and its consequences for
martingale representation;
and, as a main theme,
the Girsanov theorem;
the modern theory of the Kolmogorov forward (or Fokker-Planck) equation, involving hypoellipticity and all that, Comments on notation and terminology. to be equal to', differentiable

By a smooth function we shall always mean an infinitely function.
We use

functions of compact support. The summation convention is used throughout the paper, so that, for example, in equation (1.3), it is understood that the first term on the right-hand side is summed over the (repeated) indices summed over

Fifty years of the forward equation,
I think it best to start by trying to motivate things via this account of various approaches to diffusion theory even though it means speaking of certain concepts before recalling their definitions.

martingales.]
Various heuristic arguments (turned into precise proofs and theorems below) suggest that, under suitable conditions, a transition density function
p[X where

STROOCK-VARADHAN
(1969).
We jump on to the Stroock-Varadhan approach
because it exactly captures the spirit of
(1.1).
The point is that
(1.1)
may be
formulated precisely as follows:

Stroock and Varadhan make (SV) the defining condition for a diffusion process.
One advantage is clear:

Equation (4.9) provides a martingale representation of the likelihood ratio for the "additive white Gaussian noise" model under very general conditions.
In the one-dimensional case, it was recently obtained in
[7]. Equation (4.7) is an integral equation in that A occurs on both sides.
In special cases [2,6,9J the equation can be converted to yield
an exponential formula for A in terms of conditional moments.

is non-increasing. In one and two dimensions the diffusion coefficient converges to zero as the time gets large and in three or more dimensions it has a strictly positive limit. We want to emphasize again that even though the limit in each of these examples was Markovian, this is not the usual situation. complicated interactions the limit is hardly ever Markovian.
For more For example
if the interacting system is the stochastic Ising model and we hold the potential fixed except for the external field, then as we vary the external field there is at most one value of the external field for which the limiting process is Markovian.
The Markovian limits obtained above
resulted from the linear nature of the interaction.
This linearity is
one of the clues that the rescaling used in the next section may result in the more interesting limit obtained there.
Another clue th£ the
rescaling in the next section may work is contained in the second moment computation.

Then df.dg is the second order differential form 1 d 2 (fg)-fd 2 g-gd 2f ). df.dg = 2( We know that T(M)CT(M), so each second order form has a restriction to T(M), which is an ordinary form. It is obvious that d2fIT(M) = df df.dgIT(M) = 0 Remember now that we have global coordinates on M. We prove the intrinsic character of the "full second order differential of f" as it appears in

This is just the Taylor formula of order 2 : f(x)-f(a)-g(x) has a zero of order ?3 at a, so all differential operators of order 2 at a vanish on it. Just out of curiosity, it is natural to wonder about forms of higher orders. It turns out that they exist, that one can define the d and • operations in a nice way, but there are deep differences between orders 2 : essentially, for n>2, they are dual to something larger than differential operators of order n. They seem to be quite useless and inoffensive.
Our next step consists in extending the product • and the differentiation d to arbitrary 1-forms. This is now obvious. Given two 1-forms p=a.dx i 1 and a=b.dx j , define J i j 2i j i p.a = aibjdx .dx dp = aid x + Djaidx .dx We must check that the result doesn't depend on the coordinate system. Now we have the properties : - the product is commutative, and bilinear w.r.to Cill (M) multiplication - d(fp) = fdp+ df.p which in turn characterize both operations uniquely. Note that (18)
dpIT(v) = p
p.aIT(v) = 0 •
There is another intrinsic characterization of the d operator ( which doesn't extend to higher orders ). Let w be a form of order 1, and h(t) be a curve in M. Then we have d
•
-
h(t),w> = < h(t), dw> •
Differentiation raises by one unit the order of forms. There is another such operation, deduced from a linear connection f • Since f maps linearly T (M) into T (M), its dual ( which we denote by f too) maps a a forms of order 1 into forms of order 2, with the property that (19) f(p)IT(V) = p r(fp)= ff(p) • The Christoffel symbols appear in the expression of f (20) r(dx k) = d 2xk +

6. ITO AND STRATONOVICH INTEGRALS In the usual set-up of stochastic integration, the Ito integral has an awkward geometric status ( it doesn't"behave well"under a change of coordinates ), while the Stratonovich integral has an awkward analytic status ( as Yor [1J shows, the approximation procedures which are traditionnally used to justify its use aren't valid for all semimartingales). The use of second order forms will clarify the situation. Roughly stated, the true stochastic integral is a second order object, like the semimartingale differentials themselves. To reduce it to first order, one may use two geometric procedures, which yield Ito or Stratonovich integrals. Also, remember that forms zhouldn't be integrated only on paths, but on chains, i.e. on paths provided with formal multipliers. Here our multipliers will be predictable ( locally )bounded processes. For simplicity, we shall omit the multipliers most of the time. a semimartingale with values in M, and let Q

PROPERTIES. 1) Probabilistic. Those of the usual stochastic integrals in : stochastic integrals are real valued semimartingales ; they remain unchanged if P is replaced by an equivalent law Q ( more generally, if Q«P the P-s .i. is a version of the Q-s.i. ) ; they are local on 0 ( if two semimartingales X and X' have the same path on some subset A of 0, the corresponding s.i. have the same paths on A ). Etc •.• The use of mUltipliers is convenient at many places. For instance, if U is a coordinate patch, it is convenient to use the multiplier I!XeU! to localize. If S,T are stopping one uses the multiplier IJS,TJ'"
264
2) Differential geometric. The first main property, of course, is the fact that it is intrinsic ( this is another expression of the principle of Schwartz: incidently, the principle of Schwartz itself might be recalled by a notation like It K d 2X ,G > ). More generally, let F : M N be o s s a map, on let G be a form of order 2 on N. Let also Z be the semimartingale FoX with values in N. Then we have It G It F*(G) Z X o 0 Also note the following simple formulas (22) I d 2f

Let us pause for a discussion, since these definitions are the main point in this report here, Ito and Stratonovich integrals are given the status, both oan be used with arbitrary predictable multipliers. ( 80 the usual statement that S-integrals are less general than I-integrals is no longer valid here : this is due to the fact that we are working with COO forms. For qUite general forms the d operation would require more regularity than the r operation ). The Ito integral requires more structure than the S-integral, which is the main geometric object, as was discovered by Ito himself, and confirmed by all the subsequent work on the sUbject. Finally, we remark that no approximation procedure, no smoothing of the path, has been used to define the S-integral.

appears as the true expression of Ito's formula in a manifold M, since 1) it reduces to it when M=Rn with its trivial connection, and w=df, and 2) if X is a martingale with values in M, it gives the decomposition of the left side in its local martingale and finite variation parts. Let us give two applications of these computations to the Brownian j motion X of a Riemannian manifold M. In this case, if g=aijdxi.dX is a second order form reduced to its quadratic part, we have 1 t i' 1 ij (27) It g '2 I a .. (X )d = -2G(X )ds, where G = a .. g 0 s s s X o
1) Applying this to formula (26), and taking formula (21) into account, we get that G = -6w , a nice formula due to Ikeda-Manabe [1J. 2) Let us return to the situation of b), and look for the condition that F(X t) be a martingale with values in N • Looking at the rigbh side of (25), the first term gives a martingale by integration, while the secend is the purely quadratic second order form Q Y D ..

So AB and BA are second order integral fields if and only if AB-BA is a ( first order) integral field. 8. THE LIFTING OF A SEMIMARTINGALE THROUGH A CONNECTION The results on this section were explained to me by Schwartz. They are generalizations to general connections and general semimartingales of the classical "stochastic parallel displacement" theory, due to Ito and Dynkin.
267
The extension to general connections can be found also in Malliavin [1J, for brownian semimartingales. The geometric "second order language" can possibly bring some additional clarity to the subject. We shall use the "horizontal subspace"point of view for connections. For simplicity, instead of considering a fiber space, we consider just a product W=UxM, with global coordinates (xi) on the "base" M (19:::n) and (xO') on the "fiber" U As usual, 11 denotes the projection on the base, but we mention it as little as we can: if g is a function on M, we also denote by g the function gol1 on W • This concerns in particular the coordinates xi, and D. has a double meaning, as %x i on M and %x i on W. l
A connection r is a distribution of subspaces Hx ,u e Tx ,u(W), called horizontal subspaces, such that V(x,u)eW , 11* is an isomorphism of Hx,u onto - Tx (M) so Hx,u is supplementary to Vx,u =Ker(I1*1 x,u ), the vertical subspace of Tx,u (W». Then any tangent vector teT x (M) has an unique horizontal lift H(t) at (x,u)eW • To compute H(t) it is sufficient to know ( often denoted by V.l )
(33)
Going to the preceding section, we see that the distribution of horizontal subspaces is associated to the forms (34) gO' = duO' + l
Then any semimartingale (X on the "base" M has a unique lift Xt t) values satisfies the Stratonovich with prescribed initial gO' 0 differential equations that is Xo ) i (35 ) dU0't + r Ct( i Xt,Ut *dXt = 0 of course, even if r is CCO , one must be careful about the possibility of an explosion in (35). and X may have a finite lifetime. t We want to compute the second order tangent vector to the lifted semimartingale X , that Ls 2

The representation (l.e) of the first Hortman law is
disappointing
in several respects. It involves a conditioned process (or Bessel which is an inhomogeneous diffusion), and as a result the connection with the other Hartman laws (l.e) is so obscured that it is not clear why the law is infinitely divisible. Also, the second Hartman law is still more deeply hidden in the Bessel bridge. These matters are rectified with the help of the two parameter family of Bessel diffusions drift

of

289
Inspection of (l.h) and (l.j) reveals that we have a new representation of the result of Hartman and Watson of
0(T x )
on the circle
that for
d

the distribution
(which is von Mises with

is a
mixture of wrapped normal distributions, as well as the corresponding results for
d > 2. By the skew-prouJct representation of complex
ffi1
with no drift, another such representation of the von Mises distribution on the circle,with parameter
ay/t, is provided by (l.e).
We note here the remarkable fact that in all these representations arising naturally from
the mixing law is the
N1
same. Remarkable, because,
as will be shown in SectionlO to settle a question raised by Hartman and Watson themselves, the mixing law is not unique. Also in Section 5, we show how the invariance of the family undertime inversion, discovered by Watanabe enables one to give a simple representation of the
Bessel bridges in terms of this family. Consequently, the
second Hartman law and the factors whose transforms appear in (1.0) and
(l.d) may be reinterpreted in the context of Bessel bridges, but the actual translations are left to the reader.

We return to this point in Section 4 after first considering this kind of conditioning operation in a slightly more general setting.
297 However, we feel that, since our Cameron-l1artin-Girsanov type
(2.1) is one of the keys to our results, we ought to give another simple application of it, before passing to (perhaps) less standard manipulations later (see section 4 for Indeed, we now show how

O. Williams proved his
theorem by first establishing a special case and then arguing that the result could be
to the general case by the method of time

[41J.
The connection wi th Sharpe's work is
easily made after noting that

The F-K-I formula suggests a general way to quantize systems

representation of a random element (i.e. an element depending on of the "gauge group" U (1)

In this form it has a natural
generalization to other, non-abelian, Lie groups. Let G, the gauge group, be a given Lie group, and let V be a continuous unitary representation of G on a complex Hilbert space L, with dim L
We say that a gauge field is given, if
we are given the following. continuous path

Also, physists call functions naturally associated
with these functionals the Onsager-Machlup functions and regard them as Lagrangeans giving rise to the most probable paths
[9],[2],[4],[7].
We are concerned with the following problem: given a non-singular, locally conservative diffusion process on a manifold
M, to obtain an
asymptotic evaluation of the probability that the paths of the diffusion lie in a small tube around a given smooth curve

Brownian motion, negative curvature, and harmonic maps.
by W.S.Kendall, Department of Mathematical Statistics, The University, Hull.
This article discusses some relationships between the three topics mentioned in the title.
It is now well-known
that Brownian motion and complex function theory are closely linked, and that their interaction has bean very fruitful. A natural
generalisation of complex function theory is to 'harmonic'
functions taking their values in Riemannian manifolds. The report of Eells and Lemaire (1978) surveys work in this field. It is tempting to ask whether Brownian motion and probabilistic techniques have anything to offer; the article is an attempt to that they do. Details of proofs are not given; they will appear in a later production. It is hoped that their absence will allow the basic ideas to stand out clearly.

a nonconstant holomorphic function recieves a topological-probabilistic contradiction, as can be seen from the diagram below.

Once we have shown the existence of the covering map from

indicated in the diagram then the proof
of the little Picard theorem is merely an application of Liouville's theorem. However the existence of the covering map ( which must be holomorphic ) is related to elliptic function theory. Thus the Burgess Davis proof is a genuine alternative. This idea of a universal covering suggests a generalisation of the little Picard theorem. The surface
U can be given a metric
compatible with the analytic structure, and of constant negative curvature ( think of a saddle back to visualise negative curvature ). Skipping over the teChnicalities of curvature, we arrive at

is such that the Osterwalder-Schrader
energy operator 6) H coincides as a form on twice-differentiable cylinder functions in L2(dv) with H • Next question: is
v
global Markov, so that one can, as in the free field case,
get directly Markov processes out of the associated random field?

This is a difficult question
and it remained open for about 10 years.
By now one knows [I.30J that at least in the case where

starting from a u of the trigonometric form 3), with A sufficiently small, then
