Abstract

Let xx denote a diffusion process defined on a closed compact manifold. In an earlier article, the author introduced a new approach to constructing admissible vector fields on the associated space of paths, under the assumption of ellipticity of xx. In this article, this method is extended to yield similar results for degenerate diffusion processes. In particular, these results apply to non-elliptic diffusions satisfying H\"ormander's condition.
