Abstract

Let B={Bt}t0B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0} be a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion and denote by At,t0A_{t},\,t\ge 0, the quadratic variation of the geometric Brownian motion eBt,t0e^{B_{t}},\,t\ge 0. Bougerol's celebrated identity (1983) asserts that, if β={β(t)}t0\beta =\{ \beta (t)\} _{t\ge 0} is another Brownian motion independent of BB, then β(At)\beta (A_{t}) is identical in law with sinhBt\sinh B_{t} for every fixed t>0t>0. In this paper, we extend Bougerol's identity to an identity in law for processes up to time tt, which exhibits a certain invariance of the law of Brownian motion. The extension is described in terms of anticipative transforms of BB involving AtA_{t} as an anticipating factor. A Girsanov-type formula for those transforms is shown. An extension of a variant of Bougerol's identity is also presented.
