ABSTRACT. - Let
G = ~ Gk }k > 1
be a standard Gaussian sequence andY = ~ Yk ~k > 1
anindependent non-negative
random sequence which is alsoindependent
of G. We shallanalyse
the conditions on Y for theequivalence (= mutual
absolutecontinuity)
of the measures ~,~ and on ROO inducedby
G andG+Y, respectively.
Thisproblem implies

we shallanalyse
in detailthe case where
Yk’s
are two valued in view of theregularity
of themultiplicative
chaosand,
as anapplication, give
anegative
answer to aconjecture
of J.-P. Kahane on theregularity
of themultiplicative
chaos.Key words : Multiplicative chaos, absolute continuity.

1. INTRODUCTION
Let T be a compact metric space an
indepen-
dent
family
of centered Gaussian processes on aprobability
space(Q, ~ ,P).
For every k E N we assume thatand
Xk (t, (o)
is(X ~ F)-meaurable,
where X is the Borel field ofT,
and defineThen,
for every fixedtET, { Mn (t,

For the collection of all finite measures on
(T, E),
define a random measure M a
by
for every continuous
function ())
on T. After Kahane[2]
the above mapM;
Ma is called amultiplicative chaos,
and 03C3 E u(T)
is saidto be
M-regular
orM-singular according
as E[(M 6) (T)]
= 6(T)
or 0.When T is the d-dimensional torus, o is the
Lebesgue
measure and thecovariance functions
satisfy
for
some §
>0,
Kahane[2] proved
that a isM-regular if §
2 d and M-singular if ~ >_
2 d. In other words o isM-regular
if andonly
ifWe should remark that this result
implies
thecomplete
solution to theproblem
of absolutecontinuity
of measures in the2-space
time dimensionalH~egh-Krohn’s
model of quantumfields,
which has beeninvestigated by
many authors
(H~egh-Krohn [I],
Kusuoka[7]
and itsreferences).
For a E ~~
(T)
and u >__ 0 defineThen Kahane
posed
thefollowing conjecture.
Conjecture (Kahane [4]).
- Let M be amultiplicative
chaos. Thena E u

andY = ~ Yk (t) ~k > 1

random sequence defined on(T, E, a).
Then is defined on the
product probability
space
(Q

~ QE,
P Qa)
and X and Y areindependent.
The authors[6, 8, 9] investigated
theproblem
of theequivalence
of theprobability
measures ~,X and Jlx+y on R °° induced
by
X andX + Y, respectively.
In
particular
let 1 be a standard Gaussian sequence on(Q, ~ , P),
