Weak Levi-Civita Connection for the Damped Metric on the Riemannian Path Space and Vanishing of Ricci Tensor in Adapted Differential Geometry

AbstractWe shall establish in the context of adapted differential geometry on the path space Pmo(M) a Weitzenböck formula which generalizes that in (A. B. Cruzeiro and P. Malliavin, J. Funct. Anal. 177 (2000), 219–253), without hypothesis on the Ricci tensor. The renormalized Ricci tensor will be vanished. The connection introduced in (A. B. Cruzeiro and S. Fang, 1997, J. Funct. Anal.143, 400–414) will play a central role
