Functionals of a L\'evy Process on Canonical and Generic Probability Spaces

Abstract

We develop an approach to Malliavin calculus for L\'evy processes from the perspective of expressing a random variable YY by a functional FF mapping from the Skorohod space of c\`adl\`ag functions to R\mathbb{R}, such that Y=F(X)Y=F(X) where XX denotes the L\'evy process. We also present a chain-rule-type application for random variables of the form f(ω,Y(ω))f(\omega,Y(\omega)). An important tool for these results is a technique which allows us to transfer identities proved on the canonical probability space (in the sense of Sol\'e et al.) associated to a L\'evy process with triplet (γ,σ,ν)(\gamma,\sigma,\nu) to an arbitrary probability space (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P}) which carries a L\'evy process with the same triplet.
