Symmetry of stochastic equations

Symmetry methods are by now recognized as one of the main tools to attack deterministic differential equations (both ODEs and PDEs); the situation is quite different for what concerns stochastic differential equations: here, symmetry considerations are of course quite widely used by theoretical physicists, but a rigorous and general theory comparable to the one developed for deterministic equation is still lacking. In the following I will report on some work I have done on symmetries of stochastic (Ito) equations, and how these compare with the symmetries of the associated diffusion (Fokker-Planck) equations.
