The purpose of this paper is to investigate way of dependency of Gaussian random fields X(D) indexed by a domain D in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd. Our main tool is variational calculus, where the boundary of a domain varies and deforms and we appeal to the white noise analysis. We therefore assume that X(D) is expressed white noise integral of the form(0.1) X(D) = X(D, W)=∫D F(D, u)W(u)du,where W is the Rd-parameter white noise and the kernel F(D, u) is a square integrable function over Rd, and where D is a bounded domain with smooth boundary.

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.

We propose and analyze several multilevel algorithms for the fast simulation of possibly nonstationary Gaussian random fields (GRFs) indexed, for example, by the closure of a bounded domain [Formula: see text] or, more generally, by a compact metric space [Formula: see text] such as a compact [Formula: see text]-manifold [Formula: see text]. A colored GRF [Formula: see text], admissible for our algorithms, solves the stochastic fractional-order equation [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a linear, local, second-order elliptic self-adjoint differential operator in divergence form and [Formula: see text] is white noise on [Formula: see text]. We thus consider GRFs on [Formula: see text] with covariance operators of the form [Formula: see text]. The proposed algorithms numerically approximate samples of [Formula: see text] on nested sequences [Formula: see text] of regular, simplicial partitions [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Work and memory to compute one approximate realization of the GRF [Formula: see text] on the triangulation [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with consistency [Formula: see text], for some consistency order [Formula: see text], scale essentially linearly in [Formula: see text], independent of the possibly low regularity of the GRF. The algorithms are based on a sinc quadrature for an integral representation of (the application of) the negative fractional-order elliptic “coloring” operator [Formula: see text] to white noise [Formula: see text]. For the proposed numerical approximation, we prove bounds of the computational cost and the consistency error in various norms.

Random fields are given in terms of measures which (in general) are singular with respect to that of white noise. However, many such measures can be expressed in terms of white noise through a positive generalized functional acting as a generalized Radon-Nikodym derivative. We give criteria for this to be the case and show that these criteria are fulfilled by Schwinger and Wightman functionals of various nontrivial quantum field theory models. Furthermore a number of closability criteria are given and discussed for the Dirichlet forms associated with positive generalized functionals of white noise. In a second paper we apply these results to the construction of Markov and of quantum fields.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some particular random fields derived from Lévy’s Brownian motion to find its characteristic properties of the joint probability distributions. In [9], special attention was paid to the behaviour of the Brownian motion when the parameter runs along a curve in the parameter space, and with this property the conditional expectation has been obtained when the values are known on the curve.The present paper deals with the variation of the Brownian motion in the normal direction to a given curve, in contrast to the case in [9], where we discussed the properties along the curve. Actually we shall find, in this paper, formulae of the variation with the help of the normal derivative of Brownian motion and observe its singularity. We then discuss partial derivatives of Rd-parameter Lévy’s Brownian motion and make attempt to restrict the parameter to a hypersurface so that we obtain new random fields on that hypersurface. By comparing such derivatives with those of other Gaussian random fields, we can see that the singularity of the new random fields seems to be an interesting characteristic of Lévy’s Brownian motion. Further, we hope that our approach may be thought of as a first step to the variational calculus for Gaussian random fields.

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.

In this paper we compare the distribution of the supremum of the Gaussian random fields Z(P) = ∫CpG(P, P′) dW(P′) and U(P) = ∫CpdW(P'), where CP are circles of fixed radius, dW is a white noise field and G are special deterministic response functions.The results obtained permit us to establish upper bounds for the distribution of the supremum of Z(P) by applying some well-known inequalities on U(P).The comparison of the suprema is carried out also, when CP = ℝ2, between fields with different response functions.
