A variational representation and Prékopa's theorem for Wiener functionals

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In 1998, Boué and Dupuis proved a variational representation for exponentials of bounded Wiener functionals. Since their proof involves arguments related to the weak convergence of probability measures, the boundedness of functionals seems inevitable. In this paper, we extend the representation to unbounded functionals under a mild assumption on their integrability. As an immediate application of the extension, we prove an analogue of Prékopa's theorem for Wiener functionals, which is then applied to formulate the Brascamp-Lieb inequality in the framework of Wiener spaces.
