Incompressible Euler equations with stochastic forcing: a geometric approach

Abstract: We consider stochastic versions of Euler--Arnold equations using the infinite-dimensional geometric approach as pioneered by Ebin and Marsden. For the Euler equation on a compact manifold (possibly with smooth boundary) we establish local existence and uniqueness of a strong solution (in the stochastic sense) in spaces of Sobolev mappings (of high enough regularity). Our approach combines techniques from stochastic analysis and infinite-dimensional geometry and provides a novel toolbox to establish local well-posedness of stochastic Euler--Arnold equations.
