Standardizing densities on Gaussian spaces
In the present note we investigate the problem of standardizing random
variables taking values on infinite dimensional Gaussian spaces. In particular,
we focus on the transformations induced on densities by the selected
standardization procedure. We discover that, under certain conditions, the Wick
exponentials are the key ingredients for treating this kind of problems.Comment: 12 page
Nash estimates and upper bounds for non-homogeneous Kolmogorov equations
We prove a Gaussian upper bound for the fundamental solutions of a class of
ultra-parabolic equations in divergence form. The bound is independent on the
smoothness of the coefficients and generalizes some classical results by Nash,
Aronson and Davies. The class considered has relevant applications in the
theory of stochastic processes, in physics and in mathematical finance.Comment: 21 page
A note on a local limit theorem for Wiener space valued random variables
We prove a local limit theorem, i.e. a central limit theorem for densities,
for a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables
taking values on an abstract Wiener space; the common law of those random
variables is assumed to be absolutely continuous with respect to the reference
Gaussian measure. We begin by showing that the key roles of scaling operator
and convolution product in this infinite dimensional Gaussian framework are
played by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup and Wick product, respectively. We
proceed by establishing a necessary condition on the density of the random
variables for the local limit theorem to hold true. We then reverse the
implication and prove under an additional assumption the desired L1-convergence
of the density of \frac{X_1+...+X_n}{\sqrt{n}}. We close the paper comparing
our result with certain Berry-Esseen bounds for multidimensional central limit
theorems.Comment: 12 pages. To appear in Bernoull
