Géométrie stochastique sans larmes (
Stochastic differential geometry)
Brownian motion in manifolds has been studied for many years; Ito had very early defined parallel transport along random paths, and Dynkin had extended it to tensors; Malliavin had introduced many geometric ideas into the theory of stochastic differential equations, and interest had been aroused by the ``Malliavin Calculus'' in the early eighties. The main topic of the present paper (or rather exposition: the paper contains definitions, explanations, but practically no theorems) is
continuous semimartingales in manifolds, following L.~Schwartz (LN
780, 1980), but with additional features: an indication of J.M.~Bismut hinting to a definition of continuous
martingales in a manifold, and the author's own interest on the forgotten intrinsic definition of the second differential $d^2f$ of a function. All this fits together into a geometric approach to semimartingales, and a probabilistic approach to such geometric topics as torsion-free connexions

Martingales in manifolds - Definition, examples and behaviour under maps (
Stochastic differential geometry)
Martingales in manifolds have been introduced independently by Meyer
1505 and the author (Ph.D. Thesis). This short note is a review of that thesis; here, the definition of a manifold-valued martingale is by its behaviour under convex functions

Sur la convergence des semimartingales continues dans ${\bf R}^n$ et des martingales dans une variété (
Stochastic calculus,
Stochastic differential geometry)
Say that a continuous semimartingale $X$ with canonical decomposition $X_0+M+A$ converges perfectly on an event $E$ if both $M_t$ and $\int_0^t|dA_s|$ have an a.s. limit on $E$ when $t\rightarrow \infty $. It is established that if $A_t$ has the form $\int_0^tH_sd[M,M]_s$, $X$ converges perfectly on the event $\{\sup_t|X_t|+\lim\sup_tH_t <\infty \}$. A similar (but less simple) statement is shown for multidimensional $X$; and an application is given to martingales in manifolds: every point of a manifold $V$ (with a connection) has a neighbourhood $U$ such that, given any $V$-valued martingale $X$, almost all paths of $X$ that eventually remain in $U$ are convergent
Comment: The latter statement (martingale convergence) is very useful; more recent proofs use convex functions instead of perfect convergence. The next talk
1719 is a small remark on perfect convergence

Le théorème de convergence des martingales dans les variétés riemanniennes, d'après R.W. Darling et W.A. Zheng (
Stochastic differential geometry)
Exposition of two results on the asymptotic behaviour of martingales in a Riemannian manifold: First, Darling's theorem says that on the event where the Riemannian quadratic variation $<X,X>_\infty$ of a martingale $X$ is finite, $X_\infty$ exists in the Aleksandrov compactification of $V$. Second, Zheng's theorem asserts that on the event where $X_\infty$ exists in $V$, the Riemannian quadratic variation $<X,X>_\infty$ is finite
Comment: Darling's result is in
Publ. R.I.M.S. Kyoto 19 (1983) and Zheng's in
Zeit. für W-theorie 63 (1983). As observed in He-Yan-Zheng
1718, a stronger version of Zheng's theorem holds (with the same argument): On the event where $X_\infty$ exists in $V$, $X$ is a semimartingale up to infinity (so for instance solutions to good SDE's driven by $X$ also have a limit at infinity)

Fonctions convexes et semimartingales dans une variété (
Stochastic differential geometry)
On a manifold endowed with a connexion, convex functions can be defined, and transform manifold-valued martingales into real-valued local submartingales (see Darling
1659). This is extended here to the case of non-smooth convex functions. Ii is also shown that they make manifold-valued semimartingales into real semimartingales

L'exponentielle stochastique des groupes de Lie (
Stochastic differential geometry)
Given a Lie group $G$ and its Lie algebra $\cal G$, this article defines and studies the stochastic exponential of a (continuous) semimartingale $M$ in $\cal G$ as the solution in $G$ to the Stratonovich s.d.e. $dX = X dM$. The inverse operation (stochastic logarithm) is also considered; various formulas are established (e.g. the exponential of $M+N$). When $M$ is a local martingale, $X$ is a martingale for the connection such that $\nabla_A B=0$ for all left-invariant vector fields $A$ and $B$

Calcul stochastique avec sauts sur une variété (
Stochastic differential geometry)
It is known from Meyer
1505 that intrinsic Ito integrals have a meaning for continuous semimartingales in a manifold $M$, provided $M$ is endowed with a connection. This is extended here to càdlàg semimartingales. The manifold must be endowed with a richer structure, a ``connector'', mapping $M\times M$ to the tangent bundle, that allows to interpret a jump $(X_{t-},X_t)$ as a tangent vector to $M$ at $X{t-}$; the differential of the connector at the diagonal reduces to a classical torsion-free connection. Introducing torsions leads to a more general ``transporter'', describing how parallel transports should behave at jump times, and reducing to a classical connection for infinitesimal jumps. Discrete-time approximations are established.

Sur le barycentre d'une probabilité dans une variété (
Stochastic differential geometry)
In a manifold $V$ (endowed with a connection), convex functions and continuous martingales can be defined, but expectations cannot. This article proposes to define the mass-centre of a probability $\mu$ on $V$ as a whole set of points, consisting of all $x$ in $V$ such that $f(x)\le\mu(f)$ for all bounded, convex $f$ on $V$. If $V$ is small enough, it is shown that this is equivalent to demanding that there exists (on a suitable filtered probability space) a continuous martingale $X$ such that $X_0=x$ and $X_1$ has law $\mu$
