In this paper the authors discuss analysis and geometry on the compound configuration space \(\Omega_X\) over a Riemannian non compact oriented manifold \(X\), i.e., the space of \(\mathbb{R}_+\)-valued measures on \(X\) of the form \[ \Omega_X: =\Bigl\{\omega =\sum_{x\in \gamma_\omega} s_x\varepsilon_x \in C_0^\infty (X)'\mid s_x\in \text{supp} \tau,\;\gamma_\omega \in\Gamma_X \Bigr\}, \] where \(\tau\) is a fixed finite measure on \(\mathbb{R}_+\) and \(\Gamma_X\) is the configuration space over \(X\). This geometry is constructed via a lifting procedure and it is completely determined by the Riemannian structure on \(X\). The volume form in the differential geometry is a compound Poisson measure \(\pi^\tau_\sigma\) with an intensity measure \(\sigma\) on \(X\) which is a natural object and is a generalization of Poisson measure on \(\Gamma_X\). Along these lines, several formulas on Lie derivatives, including integration by parts and divergence on a compound Poisson space are derived. Further it is shown that \(\pi^\tau_\sigma\) is quasi-invariant under the natural action of \(\text{Diff}_0 (X)\), which is the group of all diffeomorphisms with compact supports on \(X\). It follows that a natural representation of \(\text{Diff}_0 (X)\) is defined on \(L^2_{\pi^\tau_\sigma} (\Omega_X)\), and the differential representation leads to a representation of the Lie algebra of currents in non relativistic quantum field theory.
