Stochastic analysis, rough path analysis and fractional Brownian motions

Abstract. In this paper we show, by using dyadic approximations, the existence of a geometric rough path associated with a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than 1/4. Using the integral representation of fractional Brownian motions, we furthermore obtain a Skohorod integral representation of the geometric rough path we constructed. By the results in [Ly1], a stochastic integration theory may be established for fractional Brownian motions, and strong solutions and a Wong-Zakai type limit theorem for stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motions can be deduced accordingly. The method can actually be applied to a larger class of Gaussian processes with covariance functions satisfying a simple decay condition.
