Title: The Dirichlet—Ferguson Diffusion on the space of probability measures over a closed Riemannian manifold (1811.11598)
Abstract: We construct a diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space P_2(M) over a closed Riemannian manifold M. The process, which may be regarded as a candidate for the Brownian motion on P_2(M), is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet–Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on M. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse–Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi–von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow.
