The determinant of the iterated Malliavin matrix and the density of a pair of multiple integrals

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show an estimate for the determinant of the covariance of a two-dimensional vector of multiple stochastic integrals of the same order in terms of a linear combination of the expectation of the determinant of its iterated Malliavin matrices. As an application, we show that the vector is not absolutely continuous if and only if its components are proportional.
