We relate stability properties (i.e. moment exponents) of a stochastic dynamical system on a compact manifold $M$ to the homotopy and integral homology groups of $M$. In the special case of gradient Brownian systems associated to isometric immersions of $M$ in Euclidean space, these moment exponents can be estimated in terms of the second fundamental form of the immersion. This yields topological obstructions to isometric immersions generalizing results of Lawson-Simons and others. Our work also places these authors' work into the general framework of Weitzenb\"ock formulas.
