Abstract: We propose a formula for the computation of the moments of all orders of Itô and Skorohod stochastic integrals with respect to Brownian motion, based on cumulant operators defined by the Malliavin calculus. Some characterizations of Gaussian distributions for stochastic integrals are recovered as a consequence. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Given a divergence operator δ on a probability space such that the law of is infinitely divisible with characteristic exponent we derive a family of Laplace transform identities for the derivative when u is a non-necessarily adapted process. These expressions are based on intrinsic geometric tools such as the Carleman–Fredholm determinant of a covariant derivative operator and the characteristic exponent (0.1), in a general framework that includes the Wiener space, the path space over a Lie group, and the Poisson space. We use these expressions for measure characterization and to prove the invariance of transformations having a quasi-nilpotent covariant derivative, for Gaussian and other infinitely divisible distributions.
