Brownian motion on the n-sphere












1














From course notes on SDE's. We consider a Stratonovich equation.



$dX_t=left(I-frac{1}{|X_t|^2}X_tX_t^T right)circ dB_t$



With $X_tin mathbb{R}^n$ and ${B_t}$ being n-dimensional brownian motion. We wish to show that $|X_t|^2$ is constant along trajectories, so that there cannot exist a unique stationary trajectory.



Now, does the forward Kolmogorov equation work in the same way for a Stratonovich equation as it does the Ito case? If that is the case, how would I look at trajectories in general? Ergodic theory is not a part of the notes.

          That $|X_t|^2$ is constant can be seen as follows:



          begin{align}
          d(|X_t|^2)
          & = 2X_t^Tcirc dX_t\
          & = 2left(X_t^T-frac{1}{|X_t|^2}X_t^TX_tX_t^Tright)circ dB_t\
          & = 0.
          end{align}



          (I used $P_tcirc (Q_tcirc dB_t)=(P_tQ_t)circ d B_t$.)

          • Wow, thank you, should have remembered that it more or less just reduces to normal calculus for the Stratonovich case :)
