The Poisson Multiplication Formula

Abstract

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions implying that the product of m2m\geq 2 Poisson functionals, living in a finite sum of Wiener chaoses, is square-integrable. Our conditions are expressed in terms of iterated add-one cost operators, and are obtained through the use of a novel family of Poincar\'e inequalities for almost surely finite random variables, generalizing the recent findings by Trauthwein (2024). When specialized to the case of multiple Wiener-It\^o integrals, our results yield general multiplication formulae on the Poisson space under minimal conditions, naturally expressed in terms of partitions and diagrams. Our work addresses several questions left open in a seminal work by Surgailis (1984), and completes a line of research initiated in D\"obler and Peccati (2018).
