On the path integral for diffusion in curved spaces

Author

Listed:
  • Dekker, H.

Abstract

The Onsager-Machlup Lagrangian for diffusion processes in curved spaces is determined by evaluating the covariant path integral by means of a spectral analysis of smooth trajectories in Riemannian normal coordinates. The Lagrangian involves a novel curvature scalar potential term v=−(18)R. The present treatment replaces an earlier one.
