Abstract

Let W(G) denote the path group of an arbitrary complex connected Lie group. The existence of a heat kernel measure νt on W(G) has been shown in [M. Cecil, B.K. Driver, Heat kernel measure on loop and path groups, preprint, http://www.math.uconn.edu/~cecil/papers/p2.pdf; Infin. Dimens. Anal. Quantum Probab. Relat. Top., submitted for publication]. The present work establishes an isometric map, the Taylor map, from the space of L2(νt)-holomorphic functions on W(G) to a subspace of the dual of the universal enveloping algebra of Lie(H(G)), where H(G) is the Lie subgroup of finite energy paths. This map is shown to be surjective in the case where G is a simply connected graded Lie group.
