Abstract

We extend the It\^o-Wentzell formula for the evolution of a time-dependent stochastic field along a semimartingale to kk-form-valued stochastic processes. The result is the Kunita-It\^o-Wentzell (KIW) formula for kk-forms. We also establish a correspondence between the KIW formula for kk-forms derived here and a certain class of stochastic fluid dynamics models which preserve the geometric structure of deterministic ideal fluid dynamics. This geometric structure includes Eulerian and Lagrangian variational principles, Lie--Poisson Hamiltonian formulations and natural analogues of the Kelvin circulation theorem, all derived in the stochastic setting.
