De Rham–Hodge decomposition and vanishing of harmonic forms by derivation operators on the Poisson space

Abstract

We construct differential forms of all orders and a covariant derivative together with its adjoint on the probability space of a standard Poisson process, using derivation operators. In this framewok we derive a de Rham–Hodge–Kodaira decomposition as well as Weitzenböck and Clark–Ocone formulas for random differential forms. As in the Wiener space setting, this construction provides two distinct approaches to the vanishing of harmonic differential forms.
