Abstract
In this paper we obtain a Dyson type formula for integrable functionals of a pure jump Lévy process. We represent the conditional expectation of a $\mathscr{F}_T$-measurable random variable $F$ at a time $t \leq T$ as an exponential formula involving Malliavin derivatives evaluated along a frozen path. The series representation of this exponential formula turns out to be useful for different applications, and in particular in quantitative finance, as we show in the following examples: the first one is the pricing of options in the Poisson-Black-Scholes model; the second one is the pricing of discount bonds in the Lévy quadratic model. We also obtain, for the conditional expectation of a function of a finite number of the process values, a backward Taylor expansion, that turns out to be useful for numerical calculations.
