Stochastic Jacobi fields along discontinuous martingales on Riemannian submanifolds
In this article, we consider discontinuous martingales on tangent bundles over submanifolds of Euclidean space. First, we introduce a connection rule on tangent bundles and establish the It\^o calculus for discontinuous semimartingales on tangent bundles. Then we focus on harmonic maps with respect to non-local Dirichlet forms and show that the derivative of harmonic maps along infinitesimal symmetries induces discontinuous martingales on tangent bundles. This process may be viewed as a stochastic Jacobi field along the image martingale. We also introduce the stochastic parallel transport of tangent vectors along c\`adl\`ag semimartingales on Riemannian submanifolds with projected jumps. Using the parallel transport, we obtain the mean-value property for the differential of harmonic maps involving a jump part expressed through the second fundamental form. We also obtain a derivative formula for harmonic maps for isotropic L\'evy processes with a Brownian component on compact Riemannian manifolds.
