In the case of the L\\'evy Brownian field ($H=1/2$) indexed by manifolds with minimising closed geodesics it turns out to be very strong. In particular we show that compact manifolds admitting a L\\'evy Brownian field are simply connected. We also derive from our result the non-degenerescence of the L\\'evy Brownian field indexed by hyperbolic spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-18T20:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional brownian field", "levy brownian field", "compact manifolds", "riemannian manifold", "geometric nature" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
