Navier–Stokes equations and forward-backward SDEs on the group of diffeomorphisms of a torus

We establish a connection between the strong solution to the spatially periodic Navier–Stokes equations and a solution to a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a flat torus. We construct representations of the strong solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in terms of diffusion processes.
