Using the structure of the Boson-Fermion Fock space and an argument taken from [2], we give a new proof of the triviality of the $L^2$ cohomology groups on an abstract Wiener space, alternative to that given by Shigekawa [9]. We apply some representation theory of the symmetric group to characterise the spaces of exact and co-exact forms in their Boson-Fermion Fock space representation.
We clearly characterize the relation between real and complex Wiener-Ito integrals. Given a complex multiple Wiener-Ito integral, we get explicit expressions for two kernels of its real and imaginary parts. Conversely, consider a two-dimensional real Wiener-Ito integral, we obtain the representation formula by a finite sum of complex Wiener-Ito integrals. The main tools are a recursion technique and Malliavin derivative operators. We build a bridge between real and complex Wiener-Ito integrals.
We present the product formula for complex multiple Wiener-Ito integrals. As applications, we show the Ustunel-Zakai independent criterion, the Nourdin-Rosinski asymptotic moment-independent criterion and joint convergence criterion for complex multiple Wiener-Ito integrals.
We investigate the optimal rate of convergence in the multidimensional normal approximation of vector-valued Wiener-Ito integrals of which components all belong to the same fixed Wiener chaos. Combining Malliavin calculus, Stein's method for normal approximation and method of cumulants, we obtain the optimal rate of convergence with respect to a suitable smooth distance. As applications, we derive the optimal rates of convergences for complex Wiener-Ito integrals, vector-valued Wiener-Ito integrals with kernels of step functions and vector-valued Toeplitz quadratic functionals.
In this article, some properties of complex Wiener-Itô multiple integrals and complex Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators and semigroups are obtained. Those include Stroock's formula, Hu-Meyer formula, Clark-Ocone formula and the hypercontractivity of complex Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups. As an application, several expansions of the fourth moments of complex Wiener-Itô multiple integrals are given.
In this paper, a product formula of Hermite polynomials is given and then the relation between the real Wiener-Itô chaos and the complex Wiener-Itô chaos (or: multiple integrals) is shown. By this relation and the known multivariate extension of the fourth moment theorem for the real multiple integrals, the fourth moment theorem (or say: the Nualart-Peccati criterion) for the complex Wiener-Itô multiple integrals is obtained.
For a sequence of complex Wiener-Ito multiple integrals, the equivalence between the convergence of the symmetrized contraction norms and that of the non-symmetrized contraction norms is shown directly by means of a new version of complex Mallivian calculus using the Wirtinger derivatives of complex-valued functions.
The structure of square integrable functionals measurable with respect to the $n-$point motion of the Arratia flow is studied. Relying on the change of measure technique, a new construction of multiple stochastic integrals along trajectories of the flow is presented. The analogue of the Itô-Wiener expansion for square integrable functionals from the Arratia's flow $n-$point motion is constructed.
We study the convergence to the multiple Wiener-Itô integral from processes with absolutely continuous paths. More precisely, consider a family of processes, with paths in the Cameron-Martin space, that converges weakly to a standard Brownian motion in $\mathcal C_0([0,T])$. Using these processes, we construct a family that converges weakly, in the sense of the finite dimensional distributions, to the multiple Wiener-Itô integral process of a function $f\in L^2([0,T]^n)$. We prove also the weak convergence in the space $\mathcal C_0([0,T])$ to the second order integral for two important famili…
We prove a Kodaira-Hodge decomposition on differential 1-forms on the space of non-smooth paths over a Riemannian manifold, allowing us to define the corresponding first cohomology group. This uses the Itô map of a Brownian system and damped stochastic parallel translation.
In this paper I prove good estimates on the moments and tail distribution of $k$-fold Wiener--Itô integrals and also present their natural counterpart for polynomials of independent Gaussian random variables. The proof is based on the so-called diagram formula for Wiener--Itô integrals which yields a good representation for their products as a sum of such integrals. I intend to show in a subsequent paper that this method also yields good estimates for degenerate $U$-statistics. The main result of this paper is a generalization of the estimates of Hanson and Wright about bilinear forms of indep…
A new proof of the expansion of iterated Ito stochastic integrals with respect to the components of a multidimensional Wiener process based on generalized multiple Fourier series and Hermite polynomials
We begin with a deformation of a differential graded algebra by adding time and using a homotopy. It is shown that the standard formulae of Itô calculus are an example, with four caveats: First, it says nothing about probability. Second, it assumes smooth functions. Third, it deforms all orders of forms, not just first order. Fourth, it also deforms the product of the DGA. An isomorphism between the deformed and original DGAs may be interpreted as the transformation rule between the Stratonovich and classical calculus (again no probability). The isomorphism can be used to construct covariant d…
The constructive martingale representation theorem of functional Itô calculus is extended, from the space of square integrable martingales, to the space of local martingales. The setting is that of an augmented filtration generated by a Wiener process.
The classical representation of random variables as the Ito integral of nonanticipative integrands is extended to include Banach space valued random variables on an abstract Wiener space equipped with a filtration induced by a resolution of the identity on the Cameron-Martin space. The Ito integral is replaced in this case by an extension of the divergence to random operators, and the operators involved in the representation are adapted with respect to this filtration in a suitably defined sense. However, the published paper contains a mistake which restricts the validity of the main result, a…
The integration-by-parts formula discovered by Malliavin for the Ito map on Wiener space is proved using the two-parameter stochastic calculus. It is also shown that the solution of a one-parameter stochastic differential equation driven by a two-parameter semimartingale is itself a two-parameter semimartingale.
This survey is a preliminary version of a chapter of the forthcoming book "Stochastic Analysis for Poisson Point Processes: Malliavin Calculus, Wiener-Itô Chaos Expansions and Stochastic Geometry" edited by Giovanni Peccati and Matthias Reitzner. The paper develops some basic theory for the stochastic analysis of Poisson process on a general $σ$-finite measure space. After giving some fundamental definitions and properties (as the multivariate Mecke equation) the paper presents the Fock space representation of square-integrable functions of a Poisson process in terms of iterated difference ope…
By using stochastic calculus for two-parameter processes and chaos expansion into multiple Wiener-Itô integrals, we define a 2D-stochastic current over the Brownian sheet. This concept comes from geometric measure theory. We also study the regularity of the stochastic current with respect to the randomness variable in the Watanabe spaces and with respect to the spatial variable in the deterministic Sobolev spaces.
This paper provides an existence-and-uniqueness theorem characterizing the stochastic integral with respect to a Wiener process. The integral is represented as a mapping from the space of measurable and adapted pathwise locally integrable processes to the space of continuous adapted processes. It is characterized in terms of two properties: (1) how the stochastic integrals of simple processes are calculated and (2) how these integrals converge in probability when the time integrals of the squared integrands converge in probability.
In this paper we study the structure of square integrable functionals measurable with respect to coalescing stochastic flows. The case of $L^2$ space generated by the process $η(\cdot)=w(\min(τ,\cdot)),$ where $w$ is a Brownian motion and $τ$ is the first moment when $w$ hits the given continuous function $g$ is considered. We present a new construction of multiple stochastic integrals with respect to the process $η.$ Our approach is based on the change of measure technique. The analogue of the Itô-Wiener expansion for the space $L^2(η)$ is constructed.
We develop a theory of Malliavin calculus for Banach space valued random variables. Using radonifying operators instead of symmetric tensor products we extend the Wiener-Ito isometry to Banach spaces. In the white noise case we obtain two sided L^p-estimates for multiple stochastic integrals in arbitrary Banach spaces. It is shown that the Malliavin derivative is bounded on vector-valued Wiener-Ito chaoses. Our main tools are decoupling inequalities for vector-valued random variables. In the opposite direction we use Meyer's inequalities to give a new proof of a decoupling result for Gaussian …
Wigner integrals and the corresponding Wigner chaos were introduced by P. Biane and R. Speicher in 1998 as a non-commutative counterpart of classical Wiener-Itô integrals and the corresponding Wiener-Itô chaos, respectively, in free probability. In the classical case, a famous result of I. Shigekawa states that non-trivial elements in the finite Wiener-Itô chaos have an absolutely continuous distribution. We provide here a first contribution to such regularity questions for Wigner integrals by showing that the distribution of non-trivial elements in the finite Wigner chaos cannot have atoms. T…
We review and extend Lindsay's work on abstract gradient and divergence operators in Fock space over a general complex Hilbert space. Precise expressions for the domains are given, the $L^2$-equivalence of norms is proved and an abstract version of the Itô-Skorohod isometry is established. We then outline a new proof of Itô's chaos expansion of complex Lévy-Itô space in terms of multiple Wiener-Lévy integrals based on Brownian motion and a compensated Poisson random measure. The duality transform now identifies Lévy-Itô space as a Fock space. We can then easily obtain key properties of the gra…
Let $F_n = (F_{1,n}, ....,F_{d,n})$, $n\geq 1$, be a sequence of random vectors such that, for every $j=1,...,d$, the random variable $F_{j,n}$ belongs to a fixed Wiener chaos of a Gaussian field. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, the components of $F_n$ are asymptotically independent if and only if ${\rm Cov}(F_{i,n}^2,F_{j,n}^2)\to 0$ for every $i\neq j$. Our findings are based on a novel inequality for vectors of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals, and represent a substantial refining of criteria for asymptotic independence in the sense of moments recently established by Nourdin and Rosinski.
Suppose that T is a map of the Wiener space into itself, of the following type: T=I+u where u takes its values in the Cameron-Martin space H. Assume also that u is a finite sum of H-valued multiple Ito-Wiener integrals. In this work we prove that if T preserves the Wiener measure, then necessarily u is in the first Wiener chaos and the transformation corresponding to it is a rotation in the sense of [9]. Afterwards the ergodicity and mixing of such transformations, which are second quantizations of the unitary operators on the Cameron-Martin space, are characterized. Finally, the ergocity of t…
A new method is described for constructing a generalized solution for stochastic differential equations. The method is based on the Cameron-Martin version of the Wiener Chaos expansion and provides a unified framework for the study of ordinary and partial differential equations driven by finite- or infinite-dimensional noise with either adapted or anticipating input. Existence, uniqueness, regularity, and probabilistic representation of this Wiener Chaos solution is established for a large class of equations. A number of examples are presented to illustrate the general constructions. A detaile…
In \cite{BNT}, a framework to prove almost sure central limit theorems for sequences $(G_n)$ belonging to the Wiener space was developed, with a particular emphasis of the case where $G_n$ takes the form of a multiple Wiener-Itô integral with respect to a given isonormal Gaussian process. In the present paper, we complement the study initiated in \cite{BNT}, by considering the more general situation where the sequence $(G_n)$ may not need to converge to a Gaussian distribution. As an application, we prove that partial sums of Hermite polynomials of increments of fractional Brownian motion sati…
We combine Malliavin calculus with Stein's method, in order to derive explicit bounds in the Gaussian and Gamma approximations of random variables in a fixed Wiener chaos of a general Gaussian process. We also prove results concerning random variables admitting a possibly infinite Wiener chaotic decomposition. Our approach generalizes, refines and unifies the central and non-central limit theorems for multiple Wiener-Itô integrals recently proved (in several papers, from 2005 to 2007) by Nourdin, Nualart, Ortiz-Latorre, Peccati and Tudor. We apply our techniques to prove Berry-Esséen bounds in…
We give the solution of the Monge-Kantorovitch problem on the Wiener space for the singular Wasserstein metric which is defined with respect to the distance of the underlying Cameron-Martin space. We show, under the hypothesis that this distance is finite, the existence and the uniquness of the solutions, that they are supported by the graphs of the weak derivatives of H-convex Wiener functionals. then we prove the more general situation, where the measures are not even necessarily absolutely continuous w.r.to the Wiener measure. We give sufficient conditions for the hypothesis about the Wasse…
New representations of the Hu-Meyer formulas and series expansion of iterated Stratonovich stochastic integrals with respect to components of a multidimensional Wiener process
Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University（彼得大帝圣彼得堡理工大学）
We consider multifractional process given by double Ito--Wiener integrals, which generalize the multifractional Rosenblatt process. We prove that this process is continuous and has a square integrable local time.
Let L be the class of limiting laws associated with sequences in the second Wiener chaos. We exhibit a large subset L_0 of L satisfying that, for any F_infinity in L_0, the convergence of only a finite number of cumulants suffices to imply the convergence in law of any sequence in the second Wiener chaos to F_infinity. This result is in the spirit of the seminal paper by Nualart and Peccati, in which the authors discovered the surprising fact that convergence in law for sequences of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals to the Gaussian is equivalent to convergence of just the fourth cumulant. Also, we…
We establish explicit bounds on the convex distance between the distribution of a vector of smooth functionals of a Gaussian field, and that of a normal vector with a positive definite covariance matrix. Our bounds are commensurate to the ones obtained by Nourdin, Peccati and Réveillac (2010) for the (smoother) 1-Wasserstein distance, and do not involve any additional logarithmic factor. One of the main tools exploited in our work is a recursive estimate on the convex distance recently obtained by Schulte and Yukich (2019). We illustrate our abstract results in two different situations: (i) we…
This paper focuses on the time-changed Q-Wiener process, a Hilbert space-valued sub-diffusion. It is a martingale with respect to an appropriate filtration, hence a stochastic integral with respect to it is definable. For the resulting integral, two change of variables formulas are derived. Via a duality theorem for integrals, existence and uniqueness theorems for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by the time-changed Q-Wiener process are discussed. Associated fractional Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations are derived using either a time-changed Itô formula or duality. Connections …
We prove that the density of $\frac{X_1+\cdot\cdot\cdot+X_n-nE[X_1]}{\sqrt{n}}$, where $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables taking values on an abstract Wiener space, converges in $\mathcal{L}^1$ to the density of a certain Gaussian measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to the reference Wiener measure. The crucial feature in our investigation is that we do not require the covariance structure of $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ to coincide with the one of the Wiener measure. This produces a non trivial (different from the constant funct…
We consider versions of Malliavin calculus on path spaces of compact manifolds with diffusion measures, defining Gross-Sobolev spaces of differentiable functions and proving their intertwining with solution maps, I, of certain stochastic differential equations. This is shown to shed light on fundamental uniqueness questions for this calculus including uniqueness of the closed derivative operator $d$ and Markov uniqueness of the associated Dirichlet form. A continuity result for the divergence operator by Kree and Kree is extended to this situation. The regularity of conditional expectations of…
A great open problem is: can one learn the topology of the non-smooth path spaces with an L2 Hodge-deRham theory This one hopes to establish through a suitable complex of differential forms. Since the space is a Banach manifolds, and the Hodge theory is based on Hilbert spaces, it is trick to find such a complex. The relatively simpler Bismut tangent spaces and their tensor products, whose dual spaces are natural candidates for the complex, cannot be used, because these spaces are not necessarily closed under the Lie bracket operation if there is the effect of curvature. In this article we see…
We derive a functional change of variable formula for {\it non-anticipative} functionals defined on the space of right continuous paths with left limits. The functional is only required to possess certain directional derivatives, which may be computed pathwise. Our results lead to functional extensions of the Ito formula for a large class of stochastic processes, including semimartingales and Dirichlet processes. In particular, we show the stability of the class of semimartingales under certain functional transformations. Keywords: change of variable formula, functional derivative, functional …
We develop a stochastic analysis for a Gaussian process $X$ with singular covariance by an intrinsic procedure focusing on several examples such as covariance measure structure processes, bifractional Brownian motion, processes with stationary increments. We introduce some new spaces associated with the self-reproducing kernel space and we define the Paley-Wiener integral of first and second order even when $X$ is only a square integrable process continuous in $L^2$. If $X$ has stationary increments, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions so that its paths belong to the self-reproducin…
Let ${F_n}$ be a sequence of random variables belonging to a finite sum of Wiener chaoses. Assume further that it converges in distribution towards $F_\infty$ satisfying ${\rm Var}(F_\infty)>0$. Our first result is a sequential version of a theorem by Shigekawa (1980). More precisely, we prove, without additional assumptions, that the sequence ${F_n}$ actually converges in total variation and that the law of $F_\infty$ is absolutely continuous. We give an application to discrete non-Gaussian chaoses. In a second part, we assume that each $F_n$ has more specifically the form of a multiple Wiene…
We generalise the Clark-Ocone formula for functions to give analogous representations for differential forms on the classical Wiener space. Such formulae provide explicit expressions for closed and co-closed differential forms and, as a by-product, a new proof of the triviality of the L^2 de Rham cohomology groups on the Wiener space, alternative to Shigekawa's approach [16] and the chaos-theoretic version [18]. This new approach has the potential of carrying over to curved path spaces, as indicated by the vanishing result for harmonic one-forms in [6]. For the flat path group, the generalised…
New Simple Method of Expansion of Iterated Ito Stochastic integrals of Multiplicity 2 Based on Expansion of the Brownian Motion Using Legendre Polynomials and Trigonometric Functions
Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University（彼得大帝圣彼得堡理工大学）
In this paper we develop a framework to extend the theory of generalized stochastic processes in the Hida white noise space to more general probability spaces which include the grey noise space. To obtain a Wiener-Itô expansion we recast it as a moment problem and calculate the moments explicitly. We further show the importance of a family of topological algebras called strong algebras in this context. Furthermore we show the applicability of our approach to the study of stochastic processes.
We consider a Poisson process $η$ on an arbitrary measurable space with an arbitrary sigma-finite intensity measure. We establish an explicit Fock space representation of square integrable functions of $η$. As a consequence we identify explicitly, in terms of iterated difference operators, the integrands in the Wiener-Ito chaos expansion. We apply these results to extend well-known variance inequalities for homogeneous Poisson processes on the line to the general Poisson case. The Poincare inequality is a special case. Further applications are covariance identities for Poisson processes on (st…
Quantum chaotic states over a noncommutative monoid, a unitalization of a noncommutative Ito algebra parametrizing a quantum stochastic Levy process, are described in terms of their infinitely divisible generating functionals over the monoid-valued processes on an atomless `space-time' set. A canonical decomposition of the logarithmic conditionally posive-definite generating functional is constructed in a pseudo-Euclidean space, given by a quadruple defining the monoid triangular operator representation and a cyclic zero pseudo-norm state in this space. It is shown that the exponential represe…
We study generalized Hermite polynomials with rectangular matrix arguments arising in multivariate statistical analysis and the theory of zonal polynomials. We show that these are well-suited for expressing the Wiener-Ito chaos expansion of functionals of the spectral measure associated with Gaussian matrices. In particular, we obtain the Wiener chaos expansion of Gaussian determinants of the form $\det(XX^T)^{1/2}$ and prove that, in the setting where the rows of $X$ are i.i.d. centred Gaussian vectors with a given covariance matrix, its projection coefficients admit a geometric interpretatio…
