Abstract: Among all stochastic processes with independent increments, essentially only Brownian motion and Poisson process have a chaotic representation property. In the case of a Levy process, several approaches have been proposed in order to construct an orthogonal decomposition of the corresponding L2-space. In this dissertation, we deal with orthogonal (chaotic) decompositions for generalized processes with independent values. We do not suppose stationarity of the process, as a result the Levy measure of the process depends on points of the space. We first construct, in Chapter 3, a unitary isomorphism between a certain symmetric Fock space and the space L2 (D',mu). Here D' is a co-nuclear space of generalized functions (distributions), and mu is a generalized stochastic process with independent values. This isomorphism is constructed by employing the projection spectral theorem for an (uncountable) family of commuting self-adjoint operators. We next derive, in Chapter 4, a counterpart of the Nualart Schoutens decomposition for generalized stochastic process with independent values. Our results here extend those in the papers of Nualart Schoutens and Lytvynov. In Chapter 5, we construct an orthogonal decomposition of the space L2 (D',mu) in terms of orthogonal polynomials on D'. We observe a deep relation between this decomposition and the results of the two previous chapters. Finally, in Chapter 6, we briefly discuss the situation of the generalized stochastic processes of Meixner's type.
