Abstract: We consider a Poisson process eta on a measurable space (BY,mathcalY) equipped with a partial ordering, assumed to be strict almost everwhwere with respect to the intensity measure lambda of eta. We give a Clark-Ocone type formula providing an explicit representation of square integrable martingales (defined with respect to the natural filtration associated with eta), which was previously known only in the special case, when lambda is the product of Lebesgue measure on R+ and a sigma-finite measure on another space BX. Our proof is new and based on only a few basic properties of Poisson processes and stochastic integrals. We also consider the more general case of an independent random measure in the sense of It^o of pure jump type and show that the Clark-Ocone type representation leads to an explicit version of the Kunita-Watanabe decomposition of square integrable martingales. We also find the explicit minimal variance hedge in a quite general financial market driven by an independent random measure.
