Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to construct a Brownian motion X:=(Xt)t0X := (X_t)_{t\geq 0} taking values in a Riemannian manifold MM, together with a compact valued process D:=(Dt)t0D:= (D_t)_{t\geq 0} such that, at least for small enough FD{\mathscr F}^D-stopping time τ>0\tau> 0 and conditioned by FτD{\mathscr F}_\tau^D, the law of XτX_\tau is the normalized Lebesgue measure on DτD_\tau. This intertwining result is a generalization of Pitman theorem. We first construct regular intertwined processes related to Stokes' theorem. Then using several limiting procedures we construct synchronous intertwined, free intertwined, mirror intertwined processes. The local times of the Brownian motion on the (morphological) skeleton or the boundary of DD plays an important role. Several examples with moving intervals, discs, annulus, symmetric convex sets are investigated. KEYWORDS: Brownian motions on Riemannian manifolds, intertwining relations, set-valued dual processes, couplings of primal and dual processes, stochastic mean curvature evolutions, boundary and skeleton local times, generalized Pitman theorem.
