TRANSFORMATION OF MESURE ON WIENER SPACE eBook

This book gives a systematic presentation of the main results on the transformation of measure induced by shift transformations on Wiener space. This topic has its origins in the work of Cameron and Martin (anticipative shifts, 1940's) and that of Girsanov (non-anticipative shifts, 1960's). It played an important role in the development of non-anticipative stochastic calculus and itself developed under the impulse of the stochastic calculus of variations.The recent results presented in the book include a dimension-free form of the Girsanov theorem, the transformations of measure induced by anticipative non-invertible shift transformations, the transformations of measure induced by flows, the extensions of the notions of Sard lemma and degree theory to Wiener space, generalized distribution valued Radon-Nikodym theorems and measure-preserving transformations.Basic probability theory and the Ito calculus are assumed known; the necessary results from the Malliavin calculus are presented in the appendix. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, it can be used as a text for a course or a seminar.
