Abstract
We study the geometric properties of two stochastic flows on spheres in Euclidean space. The underlying one-point motion in both cases is Brownian. Both flows arise from the action of a Lie group valued Brownian motion on a quotient. For both flows the curvature of a curve moving under the flow is shown to be a diffusion, null recurrent in one case and transient in the other.
