Stochastic Analysis for Poisson Point Processes
The first four surveys can be seen as a “crash course” in stochastic analysis on the Poisson space. Starting from the careful construction of Malliavin operators on abstract Poisson spaces via Fock space representations (G. Last), the elegant combinatorial properties of (multiple) Poisson stochastic integrals are explored (N. Privault) and an introduction provided to variational formula…
