Wick integrals
Abstract
We introduce the Wick integral for a class of stochastic processes which are not necessarily Gaussian, in the regime of bounded -variation. The integral is defined for polynomial integrands, and has the property of being centred if is such. In the case of -fractional Brownian motion, the Wick integral agrees with the divergence operator in Malliavin calculus. It satisfies a correction formula with the Young integral and an It\^o formula which have arbitrarily many correction terms (only limited by the degree of ), given by integration against the cumulant functions of , and reduce to familiar identities in the Gaussian case. These results are obtained by first developing diagram formulae for Appell polynomials. Our theory applies to a range of processes taking values in bounded Wiener chaos, such as the Rosenblatt process.
