Stochastic integrals and Brownian motion on abstract nilpotent Lie groups

Abstract

We construct a class of iterated stochastic integrals with respect to Brownian motion on an abstract Wiener space which allows for the definition of Brownian motions on a general class of infinite-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups based on abstract Wiener spaces. We then prove that a Cameron– Martin type quasi-invariance result holds for the associated heat kernel measures in the non-degenerate case, and give estimates on the associated Radon– Nikodym derivative. We also prove that a log Sobolev estimate holds in this setting.
