Permanental fields, loop soups and continuous additive functionals

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A permanental field, psi=psi(u),uinmathcalV, is a particular stochastic process indexed by a space of measures on a set S. It is determined by a kernel u(x,y), x,yinS, that need not be symmetric and is allowed to be infinite on the diagonal. We show that these fields exist when u(x,y) is a potential density of a transient Markov process X in S. A permanental field psi can be realized as the limit of a renormalized sum of continuous additive functionals determined by a loop soup of X, which we carefully construct. A Dynkin-type isomorphism theorem is obtained that relates psi to continuous additive functionals of X (continuous in t), L=Ltu,(u,t)inmathcalVimesR+. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the continuity of L on mathcalVimesR+. The metric on mathcalV is given by a proper norm.
