Since the early eighties, Ali Suleyman UEstunel has been one of the
main contributors to the field of Malliavin calculus. In a workshop
held in Paris, June 2010 several prominent researchers gave
exciting talks in honor of his 60th birthday. The present volume
includes scientific contributions from this workshop. Probability
theory is first and foremost aimed at solving real-life problems
containing randomness. Markov processes are one of the key tools
for modeling that plays a vital part concerning such problems.
Contributions on inventory control, mutation-selection in genetics
and public-private partnerships illustrate several applications in
this volume. Stochastic differential equations, be they partial or
ordinary, also play a key role in stochastic modeling. Two of the
contributions analyze examples that share a focus on probabilistic
tools, namely stochastic analysis and stochastic calculus. Three
other papers are devoted more to the theoretical development of
these aspects. The volume addresses graduate students and
researchers interested in stochastic analysis and its applications.
One of the most challenging subjects of stochastic analysis in
relation to physics is the analysis of heat kernels on infinite
dimensional manifolds. The simplest nontrivial case is that of
thepath and loop space on a Lie group. In this volume an up-to-date
survey of the topic is given by Leonard Gross, a prominent
developer of the theory. Another concise but complete survey of
Hausdorff measures on Wiener space and its applications to
Malliavin Calculus is given by D. Feyel, one of the most active
specialists in this area. Other survey articles deal with
short-time asymptotics of diffusion pro cesses with values in
infinite dimensional manifolds and large deviations of diffusions
with discontinuous drifts. A thorough survey is given of stochas
tic integration with respect to the fractional Brownian motion, as
well as Stokes' formula for the Brownian sheet, and a new version
of the log Sobolev inequality on the Wiener space. Professional
mathematicians looking for an overview of the state-of-the art in
the above subjects will find this book helpful. In addition,
graduate students as well as researchers whose domain requires
stochastic analysis will find the original results of interest for
their own research. The organizers acknowledge gratefully the
financial help ofthe University of Oslo, and the invaluable aid of
Professor Bernt 0ksendal and l'Ecole Nationale Superieure des
Telecommunications.
This volume contains the contributions of the participants of the
Sixth Oslo-Silivri Workshop on Stochastic Analysis, held in Geilo
from July 29 to August 6, 1996. There are two main lectures *
Stochastic Differential Equations with Memory, by S.E. A. Mohammed,
* Backward SDE's and Viscosity Solutions of Second Order Semilinear
PDE's, by E. Pardoux. The main lectures are presented at the
beginning of the volume. There is also a review paper at the third
place about the stochastic calculus of variations on Lie groups.
The contributing papers vary from SPDEs to Non-Kolmogorov type
probabilistic models. We would like to thank * VISTA, a research
cooperation between Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters and
Den Norske Stats Oljeselskap (Statoil), * CNRS, Centre National de
la Recherche Scientifique, * The Department of Mathematics of the
University of Oslo, * The Ecole Nationale Superieure des

This book is not a research monograph about Malliavin calculus with
the latest results and the most sophisticated proofs. It does not
contain all the results which are known even for the basic subjects
which are addressed here. The goal was to give the largest possible
variety of proof techniques. For instance, we did not focus on the
proof of concentration inequality for functionals of the Brownian
motion, as it closely follows the lines of the analog result for
Poisson functionals. This book grew from the graduate courses I
gave at Paris-Sorbonne and Paris-Saclay universities, during the
last few years. It is supposed to be as accessible as possible for
students who have knowledge of Itô calculus and some
rudiments of functional analysis.
