We define two stochastic analogs of a geometric flow on even-dimensional manifolds called $Q$-curvature flow, and use the theory of Dirichlet forms to construct weak solutions to both. The first of these flows, which we call the normalized…

We present a new approach to stochastic quantization \`a la Parisi-Wu with a discrete fictitious time. The noise average is modified by weights, which results in the equivalence in the large time limit to the correlation function of the…
