Self-similarity and fractional Brownian motions on lie groups

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to define and study a notion of fractional Brownian motion on a Lie group. We define it as at the solution of a stochastic differential equation driven by a linear fractional Brownian motion. We show that this process has stationary increments and satisfies a local self-similar property. Furthermore the Lie groups for which this self-similar property is global are characterized. © 2008 Applied Probability Trust.
