Abstract

We extend to abstract Wiener spaces the variational representation E[e F] = exp (supv E[F(-+V) -||v\\2H]) , proved by Boue and Dupuis [1] on the classical Wiener space. Here F is any bounded measurable function on the abstract Wiener space (W, H,), and Ha denotes the space of .Ft-adapted H-valued random fields in the sense of Ustiinel and Zakai [11]. In particular, we simplify the proof of the lower bound given in [1, 3] by using the Clark-Ocone formula. As an application, a uniform Laplace principle is established.
