Title
Ito Stochastic Differential Equations As 2-Jets
Abstract
We explain how Ito Stochastic Differential Equations on manifolds may be defined as 2-jets of curves and show how this relationship can be interpreted in terms of a convergent numerical scheme. We use jets as a natural language to express geometric properties of SDEs. We explain that the mainstream choice of Fisk-Stratonovich-McShane calculus for stochastic differential geometry is not necessary. We give a new geometric interpretation of the Ito-Stratonovich transformation in terms of the 2-jets of curves induced by consecutive vector flows. We discuss the forward Kolmogorov equation and the backward diffusion operator in geometric terms. In the one-dimensional case we consider percentiles of the solutions of the SDE and their properties. In particular the median of a SDE solution is associated to the drift of the SDE in Stratonovich form for small times.
