34 Geometric framework cont. More precisely let P (R d ) Ω := {γ C([, 1]; R d ) : γ() = }, I : P (R d ) P m (M) be the Itô map and ˆν be the image measure of the Wiener measure on P (R d ) under I. In order to recall the construction of the Itô map let O(M) denote the orthonormal frame bundle with respect to M, π be the canonical projection O(M) M and H 1,..., H d be the canonical horizontal vector fields. Choose r O(M) such that π(r ) = m. We introduce r γ as the solution to the Stratonovich SDE d r γ (t) = H i (r γ (t)) x i, t [, 1], (7) i=1 r γ () = r, γ = (γ 1,..., γ d ) P (R d ). This defines a.e. a mapping I : P (R d ) P m (M) by I (γ)(t) := π(r γ (t)), γ P (R d ), t [, 1], the Itô map. We also denote by T x M as the tangent space of M at the point x M.

We observe that V := r 1 ˆV π r r 1 ˆV I, (12) which says that V V (γ) is an adapted R d -valued process.
