Abstract: We present a moment identity on the Poisson space that extends the Skorohod isometry to arbitrary powers of the Skorohod integral. Applications of this identity are given to the invariance of Poisson measures under intensity preserving random transformations. To cite this article: N. Privault, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to obtain probabilistic representation formulas that are suitable for the numerical computation of the (possibly non-continuous) density functions of infima of reserve processes commonly used in insurance. In particular we show, using Monte Carlo simulations, that these representation formulas perform better than standard finite difference methods. Our approach differs from Malliavin probabilistic representation formulas which generally require more smoothness on random variables and entail the continuity of their density functions.

The non-commutative Malliavin calculus on the Heisenberg–Weyl algebra is extended to the affine algebra. A differential calculus and a non-commutative integration by parts are established. As an application we obtain sufficient conditions for the smoothness of Wigner-type laws of non-commutative random variables with gamma or continuous binomial marginals. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
