Hochgerner, Simon2013-05-132013-05-132013-05-13201310.1142/S0219493712500074https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/92189WOS:000316947900001Let Q be a Riemannian G-manifold. This paper is concerned with the symmetry reduction of Brownian motion in Q and ramifications thereof in a Hamiltonian context. Specializing to the case of polar actions, we discuss various versions of the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated to the symmetry reduction of Brownian motion and observe some similarities to the Schrodinger equation of the quantum-free particle reduction as described by Feher and Pusztai [10]. As an application we use this reduction scheme to derive examples of quantum Calogero-Moser systems from a stochastic setting.Diffusions in manifoldssymmetries and reductionquantum many particle systemstext::journal::journal article::research article
