Time Reversal of free diffusions I : Reversed Brownian motion, Reversed SDE and first order regularity of conjugate variables

Abstract: We show that solutions of free stochastic differential equations with regular drifts and diffusion coefficients, when considered backwards in time, still satisfy free SDEs for an explicit free Brownian motion and drift. We also study the stochastic integral part with respect to this reversed free Brownian motion of canonical closed martingales. We deduce that conjugate variables computed along a free Brownian motion, an example of such a reversed martingale appearing in the definition of non-microstates free entropy, are in the $L^2$ domain of corresponding free difference quotients for almost every time.
