    Abstract

    We construct the surface measure on the space C([0,1],M) of paths in a compact Riemannian manifold M without boundary embedded into which is induced by the usual flat Wiener measure on conditioned to the event that the Brownian particle does not leave the tubular -neighborhood of M up to time 1. We prove that the limit as ¿0 exists, the limit measure is equivalent to the Wiener measure on C([0,1],M), and we compute the corresponding density explicitly in terms of scalar and mean curvature.
