It is well known that there is a notion of Brownian motion on smooth Riemannian manifolds.

Such spaces are roughly Riemannian “manifolds” with metric and topological singularities. For example convex hypersurfaces are examples of such spaces. In particular boundaries of convex polytopes are. 



Is there Brownian motion on Alexandrov spaces?
Yes, there is a natural Brownian motion on an Alexandrov space.


In the following paper:

the authors study the Laplacian on an arbitrary Alexandrov space, and show that it induces a continuous heat kernel. So the Brownian motion should simply be a continuous Markov process whose generator is the Laplacian and whose transition density is given by the heat kernel. 


In fact, the authors show that the Laplacian induces a strongly local regular Dirichlet form, and the classical result about such a Dirichlet form is that it is canonically associated with a continuous Markov process having various nice properties (the results of this paper actually imply that it is a Feller process).
