ON BESOV REGULARITY OF BROWNIAN MOTIONS IN INFINITE
DIMENSIONS

Abstract: We extend to the vector-valued situation some earlier work of Ciesielski and Roynette
on the Besov regularity of the paths of the classical Brownian motion. We also consider
a Brownian motion as a Besov space valued random variable. It turns out that a
Brownian motion, in this interpretation, is a Gaussian random variable with some
pathological properties. We prove estimates for the first moment of the Besov norm of
a Brownian motion. To obtain such results we estimate expressions of the form
, where
are
independent centered Gaussian random variables with values in a Banach space. Using isoperimetric
inequalities we obtain two-sided inequalities in terms of the first moments and the weak variances
of .
