Abstract: This paper concerns a variational representation formula for Wiener functionals. Let $B={B_t}_{tge0}$ be a standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion. Bou'e and Dupuis (1998) showed that, for any bounded measurable functional $F(B)$ of $B$ up to time $1$, the expectation $mathbbE!left[e^{F(B)}ight]$ admits a variational representation in terms of drifted Brownian motions. In this paper, with a slight modification of insightful reasoning by Lehec (2013) allowing also $F(B)$ to be a functional of $B$ over the whole time interval, we prove that the Bou'e--Dupuis formula holds true provided that both $e^{F(B)}$ and $F(B)$ are integrable, relaxing conditions in earlier works. We also show that the formula implies the exponential hypercontractivity of the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup in $mathbb{R}^d$, and hence, due to their equivalence, implies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in the $d$-dimensional Gaussian space.
