P. Lévy introduced, in his celebrated books [21] and [22], an infinite dimensional Laplacian called the Lévy Laplacian in connection with a number of interesting topics in variational calculus. One of the most significant features of the Lévy Laplacian is observed when it acts on the singular part of the second functional derivatives. For this reason the Lévy Laplacian has become important also in white noise analysis initiated by T. Hida [12]. On the other hand, as was pointed out by H. Yoshizawa [29], infinite dimensional rotation groups are profoundly concerned with the structure of white noise, and therefore, play essential roles in certain problems of stochastic calculus. Motivated by these works, we aim at developing harmonic analysis on infinite dimensional spaces by means of the Lévy Laplacian and infinite dimensional rotation groups.

The theory of generalized white noise functionals (white noise calculus) initiated in [2] has been considerably developed in recent years, in particular, toward applications to quantum physics, see e.g. [5], [7] and references cited therein. On the other hand, since H. Yoshizawa [4], [23] discussed an infinite dimensional rotation group to broaden the scope of an investigation of Brownian motion, there have been some attempts to introduce an idea of group theory into the white noise calculus. For example, conformal invariance of Brownian motion with multidimensional parameter space [6], variational calculus of white noise functionals [14], characterization of the Levy Laplacian [17] and so on.

In his book P. Lévy discussed certain permutation groups of natural numbers in connection with the theory of functional analysis. Among them the group , called the Lévy group after T. Hida, has been studied along with Hida’s theory of white noise analysis and has become very important keeping profound contact with the Lévy Laplacian which is an infinite dimensional analogue of the ordinary Laplacian.

There is a famous formula called Lévy's stochastic infinitesimal equation for a stochastic process X(t) expressed in the form [Formula: see text] We propose a generalization of this equation for a random field X(C) indexed by a contour C. Assume that the X(C) is homogeneous in a white noise x, say of degree n, we can then appeal to the classical theory of variational calculus and to the modern theory of white noise analysis in order to discuss the innovation for the X(C) and hence its probabilistic structure. Some of future directions are also mentioned.

It is shown that infinite dimensional Dirichlet forms as previously constructed in terms of (generalized) white noise functionals fit into the general framework of classical Dirichlet forms on topological vector spaces. This entails that all results obtained there are applicable. Admissible functionals give rise to infinite dimensional diffusion processes.

In this paper we shall discuss the existence and the uniqueness of solutions of the heat type equation and the wave type equation associated with the Lévy Laplacian acting on a domain in the space of generalized white noise functionals.
