1. Part of my work concerns the study of geometric flows and the heat equation coupled with a variation of metrics. The main object of study is g(t)-Brownian motion.

The behavior of the Wasserstein distance between two measurements evolves according to the conjugate heat equation along the Ricci flow:

The local behavior of g(t) Brownian motion and its deviations, through Onsager-Machlup functionals:

The heat kernel coupled to the Ricci flow

2 Another part of my work deals with intertwined processes with diffusion. It turns out that the boundary of the dual process of a Brownian motion follows a mean-curvature  equation with a stochastic perturbation and a Cheeger drift. A notable fact is that whatever the geometry and dimension of the underlying variety, the volume of the dual is a time-changed Bessel 3.

The following simulations illustrate an asymptotic convergence theorem obtained with Laurent Miclo in On the evolution by duality of domains on manifolds,

The long-time existence of dual processes, with assumptions on symmetries, is a joint work with Marc Arnaudon and Laurent Miclo.

• This video shows the evolution of the dual of planar Brownian motion, starting from the “star” domain (in blue), and illustrates an asymptotic shape theorem i.e. convergence towards the red disk of the same volume as that of the blue domain, this volume being a time-changed Bessel 3 (the numerous symmetries give very rapid convergence).

• This video shows the evolution of the dual of planar Brownian motion, starting from the “peanut” domain (in blue), and illustrates an asymptotic shape theorem i.e. convergence towards the red disk of the same volume as that of the blue domain, this volume is a time-changed Bessel 3 (convergence is less rapid than previously!).

• This video shows the evolution of the dual of Brownian motion on the 2-dimensional sphere, starting from the cap-shaped domain (in red), the volume of the dual in red is a time-changed and stopped Bessel 3. As expected, this dual fills the sphere, in a time that is a strong stationary time.
