1.4 Cameron-Martin Space

Proposition 1.4.1 ([Theorem 8.2.6, Str24]).label Let $(H, E, \wien)$ be an abstract Wiener space, then the operators

\[\begin{CD}E^* @>{\iota^*}>> H @>{\iota}>> E\end{CD}\]

are compact. In particular, $H \in \cb(E)$.

Proof. It is sufficient to show that both operators map weakly convergent sequences to strongly convergent sequences.

Let $\seq{x_n^*}\subset E^{*}$ such that $x_{n}^{*} \to x \in E^{*}$ weakly, then since $\wh \wien: E^{*} \to \complex$ is continuous with respect to sequential weak* convergence,

\[e^{-\norm{\iota^*x_n^* - \iota^*x^*}_H^2/2}= \wh \wien (x^{*}_{n} - x^{*}) \to 1\]

as $n \to \infty$. Thus $\iota^{*} x_{n}^{*} \to \iota^{*}x^{*}$ strongly in $H$.

To see the compactness of $\iota$, let $\seq{h_n}\subset H$ such that $h_{n} \to 0$ weakly. By the Uniform Boundedness Principle, there exists $R \ge 0$ such that $\sup_{n \in \nat}\norm{h_n}_{H} \le R$. Let $\seq{x_n^*}\subset E^{*}$ be a weak*-dense subset of $E^{*}$ with $\norm{x_n^*}_{E^*}= 1$ for all $n \in \nat$. Let $\eps > 0$, then by compactness of $\seq{\iota^*x^*_n}\subset H$, there exists $N \in \nat$ such that $\seq{\iota^*x^*_n}\subset \bigcup_{n = 1}^{N} B_{H}(\iota^{*}x^{*}_{n}, \eps)$. In which case,

\[\norm{h_n}_{E} = \sup_{n \in \nat}\angles{h_n, x_n^*}_{E}\le 2\max_{1 \le k \le N}\angles{h_n, x_k^*}_{E} + R\eps\]

Given that $h_{n} \to 0$ weakly, $\max_{1 \le k \le N}\angles{h_n, x_k^*}_{E} \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$. As $\eps > 0$ is arbitrary, $\norm{h_n}_{E} \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$.$\square$

Proposition 1.4.2.label Let $(H, E, \wien)$ be an abstract Wiener space. If $E$ is infinite-dimensional, then $\wien(H) = 0$.

Proof. Let $\seq{x_n^*}\subset E^{*}$ such that $\seq{\iota^* x_n^*}$ is an orthonormal basis for $H$. For each $n \in \nat$, let $X_{n}(x) = \dpb{x, x_n^*}{E}$, then $\seq{X_n}$ is a family of independent Gaussian random variables with variance $1$. Thus $\sum_{n \in \nat}X_{n}^{2} = \infty$ almost surely. By (2) of Lemma 1.3.1, $\wien(H) = 0$.$\square$

Theorem 1.4.3.label Let $(H, E, \wien)$ be an abstract Wiener space, then

  1. (1)

    There exists a unique linear isometry $\ci: H \to L^{2}(\wien; \real)$ such that $\ci(\iota^{*}x^{*}) = \dpb{\cdot, x^*}{E}$ for all $x^{*} \in E^{*}$.

  2. (2)

    $\bracs{\ci(h): h \in H}$ is a Gaussian family.

The map in (1) is the Paley-Wiener map.

Proof. Let $x^{*} \in E^{*}$, then $\dpb{\cdot, x^*}{E}$ is a centred Gaussian random variable with variance $\norm{\iota^*x^*}_{H}^{2}$. By (3) of Lemma 1.3.1, $\iota^{*}(E^{*}) \subset H$ is dense. Thus $\ci$ extends uniquely into a continuous linear isometry.$\square$

Theorem 1.4.4 (Cameron-Martin, [Theorem 8.2.7, Str24]).label Let $(H, E, \wien)$ be an abstract Wiener space and $g \in E$. Denote $\tau_{g}: E \to E$ with $x \mapsto x + g$ as the translation map, then:

  1. (1)

    If $g \in H$, then $(\tau_{g})_{*} \ll \wien$ and

    \[\frac{d(\tau_{g})_{*}\wien}{d\wien}(x) = e^{\ci (g) - \norm{g}_H^2/2}\]

  2. (2)

    If $g \not\in H$, then $(\tau_{g})_{*} \wien \perp \wien$.

Proof. (1): Let $\mu = (\tau_{g})_{*} \wien$, then for any $x^{*} \in E^{*}$,

\[\wh \mu(x^{*}) = \ev^{\wien}\braks{e^{i\angles{x + g, x^*}_E}}= e^{i\dpb{g, x^*}{E} - \norm{\iota^*x^*}_H^2/2}\]

On the other hand, for any $x, y \in H$, $\ci(x)$ and $\ci(y)$ are jointly Gaussian, so for any $\xi, \eta \in \complex$,

\[\ev^{\wien}\braks{e^{\xi \ci(x) + \eta \ci(y)}}= \exp\braks{\frac{1}{2}\paren{\xi^2\norm{x}_H^2 + 2\xi \eta \dpb{x, y}{H} + \eta^2\norm{y}_H^2}}\]

In particular, if $\xi = 1$, $\eta = i$, $x = g$, and $y = x^{*}$, then

\[\ev^{\wien}\braks{e^{\ci (g) + ix^*}}= e^{i\dpb{g, x^*}{E} - \norm{\iota^*x^*}_H^2/2}= \wh \mu(x^{*})\]

(2): Let $x^{*} \in E^{*}$ with $\norm{\iota^*x^*}_{H} = 1$, and $\mathcal{F} = \sigma(x^{*})$, then

\[\frac{d\mu|_{\cf}}{d\wien_{\cf}}(x) = e^{\dpb{g, x^*}{E}\dpb{x, x^*}{E} - \dpb{g, x^*}{E}^2/2}\]

If $\mu = \lambda + Fd\wien$ is the Lebesgue decomposition of $\mu$ with respect to $\wien$, then

\[\frac{d\mu|_{\cf}}{d\wien_{\cf}}\ge \ev^{\wien}[F|\cf]\]

Given that $\norm{\iota^*x^*}_{H} = 1$,

\[e^{\dpb{g, x^*}{E}^2}= \ev^{\wien}\braks{\paren{\frac{d\mu|_{\cf}}{d\wien_{\cf}}}^2}\ge \ev^{\wien}(F^{2})\]

where $\ev^{\wien}(F^{2})$ does not depend on $x^{*}$. If $F \ne 0$, then the above bound implies that

\[\sup_{\substack{x^* \in E^* \\ ||\iota^* x^*||_H = 1}}|\dpb{g, x^*}{E}^{2}| < \infty\]

Thus $g \in H$.$\square$
