Brownian Loops, Singular Homology, and Asymptotic Cycles
Let $M$ be a closed connected Riemannian manifold. A continuous semimartingale segment can be closed by a Borel family of paths of uniformly bounded length, producing a singular homology class $H_t\in H_1(M;\R)$. For every linear choice of smooth closed representatives of $H^1(M;\R)$, the corresponding Stratonovich hom...
