Abstract
We study the dynamical properties of the Brownian diffusions having $\sigma\,{\rm Id}$ as diffusion coefficient matrix and $b=\nabla U$ as drift vector. We characterize this class through the equality $D^2_+=D^2_-$, where $D_{+}$ (resp. $D_-$) denotes the forward (resp. backward) stochastic derivative of Nelson's type. Our proof is based on a remarkable identity for $D_+^2-D_-^2$ and on the use of the martingale problem.
