On développe une procédure qui nous permet de discrétiser le mouvement brownien d’une variété riemannienne. On obtient ainsi une marche aléatoire qui est une bonne approximation du mouvement brownien.

We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.
