Abstract

Let (W,H,μ)(W,H,\mu) be the classical Wiener space on Rd\R^d. Assume that X=(Xt)X=(X_t) is a diffusion process satisfying the stochastic differential equation dXt=σ(t,X)dBt+b(t,X)dtdX_t=\sigma(t,X)dB_t+b(t,X)dt, where σ:[0,1]×C([0,1],Rn)RnRd\sigma:[0,1]\times C([0,1],\R^n)\to \R^n\otimes \R^d, b:[0,1]×C([0,1],Rn)Rnb:[0,1]\times C([0,1],\R^n)\to \R^n, BB is an Rd\R^d-valued Brownian motion. We suppose that the weak uniqueness of this equation holds for any initial condition. We prove that any square integrable martingale MM w.r.t. to the filtration (\calFt(X),t[0,1])(\calF_t(X),t\in [0,1]) can be represented as Mt=E[M0]+0tPs(X)αs(X).dBs M_t=E[M_0]+\int_0^t P_s(X)\alpha_s(X).dB_s where α(X)\alpha(X) is an Rd\R^d-valued process adapted to (\calFt(X),t[0,1])(\calF_t(X),t\in [0,1]), satisfying E0t(a(Xs)αs(X),αs(X))ds<E\int_0^t(a(X_s)\alpha_s(X),\alpha_s(X))ds<\infty, a=σσa=\sigma^\star\sigma and Ps(X)P_s(X) denotes a measurable version of the orthogonal projection from Rd\R^d to σ(Xs)(Rn)\sigma(X_s)^\star(\R^n). In particular, for any hHh\in H, we have \begin{equation} \label{wick} E[\rho(\delta h)|\calF_1(X)]=\exp\left(\int_0^1(P_s(X)\dot{h}_s,dB_s)-\half\int_0^1|P_s(X)\dot{h}_s|^2ds\right)\,, \end{equation} where ρ(δh)=exp(01(h˙s,dBs)\halfHH2)\rho(\delta h)=\exp(\int_0^1(\dot{h}_s,dB_s)-\half |H|_H^2). This result gives a new development as an infinite series of the L2L^2-functionals of the degenerate diffusions. We also give an adequate notion of "innovation process" associated to a degenerate diffusion which corresponds to the strong solution when the Brownian motion is replaced by an adapted perturbation of identity. This latter result gives the solution of the causal Monge-Amp\`ere equation.}
