TY - GEN A1 - Roelly, Sylvie A1 - Thieullen, Michèle T1 - Duality formula for the bridges of a Brownian diffusion : application to gradient drifts N2 - In this paper, we consider families of time Markov fields (or reciprocal classes) which have the same bridges as a Brownian diffusion. We characterize each class as the set of solutions of an integration by parts formula on the space of continuous paths C[0; 1]; R-d) Our techniques provide a characterization of gradient diffusions by a duality formula and, in case of reversibility, a generalization of a result of Kolmogorov.
