Defining properly iterated integrals of $B$ is a difficult task because of the low H\\\"older regularity index of its paths. Yet rough path theory shows it is the key to the construction of a stochastic calculus with respect to $B$, or to solving differential equations driven by $B$. We show in this paper how to obtain second-order iterated integrals as the limit when the ultra-violet cut-off goes to infinity of iterated integrals of weakly interacting fields defined using the tools of constructive field theory, in particular, cluster expansion and renormalization. The construction extends to a large class of Gaussian fields with the same short-distance behaviour, called multi-scale Gaussian fields. Previous constructions \\cite{Unt-Holder,Unt-fBm} were of algebraic nature and did not provide such a limiting procedure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-06-07T13:43:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60G15", "60G18", "60H05", "81T08", "81T18" ], "keywords": [ "constructive field theory", "fractional stochastic calculus", "hurst index", "lévy area", "iterated integrals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 86, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1006.1255M" } } }
