Intersection local times of independent fractional Brownian motions as generalized white noise functionals

In this work we present expansions of intersection local times of fractional Brownian motions in R^d , for any dimension d ≥ 1, with arbitrary Hurst coefficients in (0, 1)^d . The expansions are in terms of Wick powers of white noises (corresponding to multiple Wiener integrals), being well-defined...

Description
Summary:In this work we present expansions of intersection local times of fractional Brownian motions in R^d , for any dimension d ≥ 1, with arbitrary Hurst coefficients in (0, 1)^d . The expansions are in terms of Wick powers of white noises (corresponding to multiple Wiener integrals), being well-defined in the sense of generalized white noise functionals. As an application of our approach, a sufficient condition on d for the existence of intersection local times in L^2 is derived, extending the results in Nualart and Ortiz-Latorre (J. Theoret. Probab. 20(4):759–767, 2007) to different and more general Hurst coefficients.
