The paper develops some basic theory for the stochastic analysis of Poisson process on a general $\\sigma$-finite measure space. After giving some fundamental definitions and properties (as the multivariate Mecke equation) the paper presents the Fock space representation of square-integrable functions of a Poisson process in terms of iterated difference operators. This is followed by the introduction of multivariate stochastic Wiener-It\\^o integrals and the discussion of their basic properties. The paper then proceeds with proving the chaos expansion of square-integrable Poisson functionals, and defining and discussing Malliavin operators. Further topics are products of Wiener-It\\^o integrals and Mehler's formula for the inverse of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck generator based on a dynamic thinning procedure. The survey concludes with covariance identities, the Poincar\\'e inequality and the FKG-inequality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-05-17T16:55:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G55", "60H07" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic analysis", "poisson processes", "chaos expansion", "finite measure space", "multivariate mecke equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1405.4416L" } } }
