Finite dimensional solutions to SPDEs and the geometry of infinite jet bundles

Abstract

Finite dimensional solutions to a class of stochastic partial differential equations are obtained extending the differential constraints method for deterministic PDE to the stochastic framework. A geometrical reformulation of the stochastic problem using the concept of infinite jet bundles is provided and a practical algorithm for explicitly computing these finite dimensional solutions is developed. This method, covering the majority of the current literature, is applied to a set of new SPDEs admitting finite dimensional solutions taken from Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework, stochastic hydrodynamics and filtering theory.
