Special It\^o maps and an $L^2$ Hodge theory for one forms on path spaces

Probability 2019-11-22 v1

Abstract

We prove a Kodaira-Hodge decomposition on differential 1-forms on the space of non-smooth paths over a Riemannian manifold, allowing us to define the corresponding first cohomology group. This uses the It\^o map of a Brownian system and damped stochastic parallel translation.
