A pathwise approach to relativistic diffusions
  A new class of relativistic diffusions encompassing all the previously studied examples has recently been introduced by C. Chevalier and F. Debbasch, both in a heuristic and analytic way. A pathwise approach of these processes is proposed here, in the general framework of Lorentzian geometry. In considering the dynamics of the random motion in strongly causal spacetimes, we are able to give a simple definition of the one-particle distribution function associated with each process of the class and prove its fundamental property. This result not only provides a dynamical justification of the analytical approach developped up to now (enabling us to recover many of the results obtained so far), but it provides a new general H-theorem. It also sheds some light on the importance of the large scale structure of the manifold in the asymptotic behaviour of the Franchi-Le Jan process. This pathwise approach is also the source of many interesting questions that have no analytical counterparts.
