For isotropic initial statistics, isotropic noise preserves . Isotropy of the noise alone does not turn an arbitrary anisotropic initial vector distribution into an isotropic one; alternatively take the angularly averaged magnitude distribution. The radial gradient satisfies , so the diffusion-vector contraction in the preceding equation is . Its divergence givesNow is the magnitude probability density function, normalized by . Sincewe obtain the radial magnetic-field Fokker-Planck equationThe outward Fokker-Planck probability current is . Zero probability flux at zero and infinity preserves normalization. For positive initial magnitude the solution below remains on ; an atom initially at instead remains an absorbing zero-field component.
