I would like to get hold of some early papers on the confluence of Probability and Geometry. I am of course aware of the celebrated book, "Probability on Compact Lie Groups" but would like to understand the works of probability on Riemannian manifolds.


Can you kindly mention some old papers relating to the beginning of this connection between probability and geometry? Thanks a lot.



Some papers on the confluence of probability and geometry
One very good introduction is [this](http://bookstore.ams.org/surv-74-s/) by Daniel W. Stroock. Is very good both as an introduction and as presentation of current research (at the time of the writing, that is 2000). Also it has plenty of historical discussions.
