Abstract

We construct a new topology on the space of stopped paths and introduce a calculus for causal functionals on generic domains of this space. We propose a generic approach to pathwise integration without any assumption on the variation index of a path and obtain functional change of variable formulae which extend the results of Föllmer [Séminaire de probabilités 15 (1981), 143–150] and Cont and Fournié [J. Funct. Anal. 259 (2010), no. 4, 1043–1072] to a larger class of functionals, including Föllmer's pathwise integrals. We show that a class of smooth functionals possess a pathwise analogue of the martingale property. For paths that possess finite quadratic variation, our approach extends the Föllmer–Ito calculus and removes previous restriction on the time partition sequence. We introduce a foliation structure on this path space and show that harmonic functionals may be represented as pathwise integrals of closed 1-forms.
