The operators of stochastic calculus

Abstract

We study a family of representations of the canonical commutation relations (CCR)-algebra, which we refer to as “admissible,” with an infinite number of degrees of freedom. We establish a direct correlation between each admissible representation and a corresponding Gaussian stochastic calculus. Moreover, we derive the operators of Malliavin’s calculus of variation using an algebraic approach, which differs from the conventional methods. The Fock-vacuum representation leads to a maximal symmetric pair. This duality perspective offers the added advantage of resolving issues related to unbounded operators and dense domains much more easily than with alternative approaches.
