Abstract
We give estimates of the distance between the densities of the laws of two functionals and on the Wiener space in terms of the Malliavin-Sobolev norm of We actually consider a more general framework which allows one to treat with similar (Malliavin type) methods functionals of a Poisson point measure (solutions of jump type stochastic equations). We use the above estimates in order to obtain a criterion which ensures that convergence in distribution implies convergence in total variation distance; in particular, if the functionals at hand are absolutely continuous, this implies convergence in of the densities.
