The aim of this study is to clarify the consequences of recent theoretical results for the numerical computation of expectation by the shift method, and in particular to yield sufficient criteria for the existence of speed of convergence of the type `iterated logarithm' in several situations. We deepen the case of the Wiener space because it contains many situations useful in applications.
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.
In this survey we collect some recent results regarding the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures (LKCs) of the excursion sets of random eigenfunctions on the two-dimensional standard flat torus (arithmetic random waves) and on the two-dimensional unit sphere (random spherical harmonics). In particular, the aim of the present survey is to highlight the key role of integration by parts formulae in order to have an extremely neat expression for the random LKCs. Indeed, the main tool to study local geometric functionals of random waves on manifold is to exploit their Wiener chaos decomposition and show th…
We prove several versions of Driver's integration by parts formula for the horizontal Wiener measure on a totally geodesic Riemannian foliation and prove that the horizontal Wiener measure has a quasi-invariance property with respect to flows generated by suitable tangent processes.
Following the ideas of F. Russo and P. Vallois we use the notion of forward integral to introduce a new stochastic integral respect to the cylindrical Winer process. This integral is an extension of the classical integral. As an application, we prove existence of solution of a parabolic stochastic differential partial equation with anticipating stochastic initial date.
We use integration by parts formulas to give estimates for the $L^p$ norm of the Riesz transform. This is motivated by the representation formula for conditional expectations of functionals on the Wiener space already given in Malliavin and Thalmaier. As a consequence, we obtain regularity and estimates for the density of non degenerated functionals on the Wiener space. We also give a semi-distance which characterizes the convergence to the boundary of the set of the strict positivity points for the density.
This paper deals with the study of the Malliavin calculus of Euclidean motions on Wiener space, (i.e. transformations induced by general measure preserving transformations, called `rotations', and H-valued shifts) and the associated flows on abstract Wiener spaces
In Euclidean space, the integration by parts formula for a set of finite perimeter is expressed by the integration with respect to a type of surface measure. According to geometric measure theory, this surface measure is realized by the one-codimensional Hausdorff measure restricted on the reduced boundary and/or the measure-theoretic boundary, which may be strictly smaller than the topological boundary. In this paper, we discuss the counterpart of this measure in the abstract Wiener space, which is a typical infinite-dimensional space. We introduce the concept of the measure-theoretic boundar…
Some parts of stochastic analysis on curved spaces are revisted. A concise proof of the quasi-invariance of the Wiener measure on the path spaces over a Riemannian manifold is presented. The shifts are allowed to be in the Cameron-Martin space and random. The second part of the paper presents some remarks on the anticipative integrals on Riemannian manifolds.
In prior work \cite{AD} of Lars Andersson and Bruce K. Driver, the path space with finite interval over a compact Riemannian manifold is approximated by finite dimensional manifolds $H_{x,¶} (M)$ consisting of piecewise geodesic paths adapted to partitions $¶$ of $[0,T]$, and the associated Wiener measure is also approximated by a sequence of probability measures on finite dimensional manifolds. In this article, we will extend their results to the general path space(possibly with infinite interval) over a non-compact Riemannian manifold by using the cutoff method of compact Riemannian manifold…
We combine infinite-dimensional integration by parts procedures with a recursive relation on moments (reminiscent of a formula by Barbour (1986)), and deduce explicit expressions for cumulants of functionals of a general Gaussian field. These findings yield a compact formula for cumulants on a fixed Wiener chaos, virtually replacing the usual "graph/diagram computations" adopted in most of the probabilistic literature.
We generalize the Beckner's type Poincaré inequality \cite{Beckner} to a large class of probability measures on an abstract Wiener space of the form $μ\starν$, where $μ$ is the reference Gaussian measure and $ν$ is a probability measure satisfying a certain integrability condition. As the Beckner inequality interpolates between the Poincaré and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, we utilize a family of products for functions which interpolates between the usual point-wise multiplication and the Wick product. Our approach is based on the positivity of a quadratic form involving Wick powers and in…
Cubature on Wiener space [Lyons, T.; Victoir, N.; Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 8 January 2004 vol. 460 no. 2041 169-198] provides a powerful alternative to Monte Carlo simulation for the integration of certain functionals on Wiener space. More specifically, and in the language of mathematical finance, cubature allows for fast computation of European option prices in generic diffusion models. We give a random walk interpretation of cubature and similar (e.g. the Ninomiya--Victoir) weak approximation schemes. By using rough path analysis, we are able to establish weak convergence for general path-depen…
In this work we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive random variable whose expectation under the Wiener measure is one, to be represented as the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the image of the Wiener measure under an adapted perturbation of identity with the help of the associated innovation process. We prove that the innovation conjecture holds if and only if the original process is almost surely invertible. We also give variational characterizations of the invertibility of the perturbations of identity and the representability of a positive random variable whose total ma…
On the infinite dimensional space $E$ of continuous paths from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb R^n$, $n \ge 3$, endowed with the Wiener measure $μ$, we construct a surface measure defined on level sets of the $L^2$-norm of $n$-dimensional processes that are solutions to a class of stochastic gradient system-type equations, and provide an integration by parts formula involving this surface measure. We follow the approach to surface measures in Gaussian spaces proposed via techniques of Malliavin calculus by Airault and Malliavin in 1988.
In the article, integration of temporal functions in (possibly non-UMD) Banach spaces with respect to (possibly non-Gaussian) fractional processes from a finite sum of Wiener chaoses is treated. The family of fractional processes that is considered includes, for example, fractional Brownian motions of any Hurst parameter or, more generally, fractionally filtered generalized Hermite processes. The class of Banach spaces that is considered includes a large variety of the most commonly used function spaces such as the Lebesgue spaces, Sobolev spaces, or, more generally, the Besov and Lizorkin-Tri…
Using the Wiener chaos decomposition, we show that strong solutions of non Lipschitzian S.D.E.'s are given by random Markovian kernels. The example of Sobolev flows is studied in some detail, exhibiting interesting phase transitions.
In this paper, we prove a finite dimensional approximation scheme for the Wiener measure on closed Riemannian manifolds, establishing a generalization for $L^{1}$-functionals, of the approach followed by Andersson and Driver on [1]. We follow a new approach motived by categorical concept of colimit.
Shift Harnack and integration by part formula are establish for semilinear spde with delay and a class of stochastic semilinear evolution equation which cover the hyperdissipative Naiver-Stokes/Burges equation. For the case of stochastic equation with delay, an extension to path space is given.
We prove an integration by parts formula on the law of the reflecting Brownian motion $X:=|B|$ in the positive half line, where $B$ is a standard Brownian motion. In other terms, we consider a perturbation of $X$ of the form $X^ε= X+εh$ with $h$ smooth deterministic function and $ε>0$ and we differentiate the law of $X^ε$ at $ε=0$. This infinitesimal perturbation changes drastically the set of zeros of $X$ for any $ε>0$. As a consequence, the formula we obtain contains an infinite dimensional generalized functional in the sense of Schwartz, defined in terms of Hida's renormalization of the squ…
A new coupling argument is introduced to establish Driver's integration by parts formula and shift Harnack inequality. Unlike known coupling methods where two marginal processes with different starting points are constructed to move together as soon as possible, for the new-type coupling the two marginal processes start from the same point but their difference is aimed to reach a fixed quantity at a given time. Besides the integration by parts formula, the new coupling method is also efficient to imply the shift Harnack inequality. Differently from known Harnack inequalities where the values o…
A derivation operator and a divergence operator are defined on the algebra of bounded operators on the symmetric Fock space over the complexification of a real Hilbert space $\eufrak{h}$ and it is shown that they satisfy similar properties as the derivation and divergence operator on the Wiener space over $\eufrak{h}$. The derivation operator is then used to give sufficient conditions for the existence of smooth Wigner densities for pairs of operators satisfying the canonical commutation relations. For $\eufrak{h}=L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)$, the divergence operator is shown to coincide with the Hudson…
In this work we prove that the unique 1-convex solution of the Monge problem contructed from the solution of the Monge-Kantorovitch problem between the Wiener measure and a target measure which has a log-concave density w.r.to the Wiener measure is also the strong solution of the Monge-Ampere equation in the frame of infinite dimensional Frechet spaces. We enhance also the polar factorization results of the mappings which transform a spread measure to another one of finite Wasserstein distance. Finally we calculate the semimartingale decomposition of the transport process with respect to its n…
Following Wiener, we consider the zeroes of Gaussian analytic functions in a strip in the complex plane, with translation-invariant distribution. We show that the variance of the number of zeroes in a long horizontal rectangle $[0,T]\times [a,b]$ is asymptotically between $cT$ and $CT^2$, with positive constants $c$ and $C$. We also supply with conditions (in terms of the spectral measure) under which the variance asymptotically grows linearly, as a quadratic function of $T$, or has intermediate growth.
In this article we introduce a theory of integration for deterministic, operator-valued integrands with respect to cylindrical Lévy processes in separable Banach spaces. Here, a cylindrical Lévy process is understood in the classical framework of cylindrical random variables and cylindrical measures, and thus, it can be considered as a natural generalisation of cylindrical Wiener processes or white noises. Depending on the underlying Banach space, we provide necessary and/or sufficient conditions for a function to be integrable. In the last part, the developed theory is applied to define Ornst…
Application of the functional integration methods in equilibrium statistical mechanics of quantum Bose-systems is considered. We show that Gibbs equilibrium averages of Bose-operators can be represented as path integrals over a special Gauss measure defined in the corresponding space of continuous functions. This measure arises in the Bogolyubov T-product approach and is non-Wiener. We consider problems related to integration with respect to the Bogolyubov measure in the space of continuous functions and calculate some functional integrals with respect to this measure. Approximate formulas tha…
This paper studies constrained information projections on Banach spaces with respect to a Gaussian reference measure. Specifically our interest lies in characterizing projections of the reference measure, with respect to the KL-divergence, onto sets of measures corresponding to changes in the mean (or {\it shift measures}). As our main result, we give a portmanteau theorem that characterizes the relationship among several different formulations of this problem. In the general setting of Gaussian measures on a Banach space, we show that this information projection problem is equivalent to minim…
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…
