Quasi-invariance for infinite-dimensional Kolmogorov diffusions (Q6201831)

The authors prove Cameron-Martin type quasi-invariance for the heat kernel measure of infinite-dimensional Kolmogorov and similar degenerate diffusions. They study quantitative functional inequalities, particularly Wang-type Harnack inequalities, for appropriate finite-dimensional approximations of these diffusions, and prove that these inequalities hold with dimension-independent constants. The uniform bounds thus obtained may then be used to prove that the heat kernel measure for these infinite-dimensional diffusions is quasi-invariant under changes of the initial state.
