Moments and Cumulants in Infinite Dimensions with Applications to   Poisson, Gamma and Dirichlet-Ferguson Random Measures
  We show that the chaos representation of some Compound Poisson Type processes displays an underlying intrinsic combinatorial structure, partly independent of the chosen process. From the computational viewpoint, we solve the arising combinatorial complexity by means of the moments/cumulants duality for the laws of the corresponding processes, themselves measures on distributional spaces, and provide a combinatorial interpretation of the associated 'extended' Fock spaces. From the theoretical viewpoint, in the case of the Gamma measure, we trace back such complexity to its 'simplicial part', i.e. the Dirichlet-Ferguson measure, hence to the Dirichlet distribution on the finite-dimensional simplex. We thoroughly explore the combinatorial and algebraic properties of the latter distribution, arising in connection with cycle index polynomials of symmetric groups and dynamical symmetry algebras of confluent Lauricella functions.
