Stochastic Currents of Fractional Brownian Motion: Existence and Regularity

By using white noise analysis, we study the integral kernel $\xi(x)$, $x\in\mathbb{R}^{d}$, of stochastic currents corresponding to fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(0,1)$. For $x\in\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash\{0\}$ and $d\ge1$ we show that the kernel $\xi(x)$ is well-defined as a Hida distribution for all $H\in(0,1)$. For $x=0$ and $d=1$, $\xi(0)$ is a Hida distribution for all $H\in(0,1)$. For $d\ge2$, then $\xi(0)$ is a Hida distribution only for $H\in(0,1/d)$. For $d=1$, $x \neq 0$, and $H \in (0,1)$, we show that $\xi(x) \in \mathcal{G}'$, the space of regular generalized functions. Elements of the space $\mathcal{G}'$ and elements from the negative Sobolev--Watanabe distribution spaces share the property that partial sums of their chaos decomposition are square integrable functions. More precisely, we show that $\xi(x) \in \mathcal{G}_{-s} \subset \mathcal{G}'$ for $x \neq 0$, $H \in (0,1)$, and all $s > 0$.
