Abstract
The present paper reviews some intriguing connections which link together a new renormalization technique, the theory of *-representations of infinite dimensional *-Lie algebras, quantum probability, white noise and stochastic calculus and the theory of classical and quantum infinitely divisible processes.

Key words: quantum probability; quantum white noise; infinitely divisible process; quantum decomposition; Meixner classes; renormalization; infinite dimensional Lie algebra; central extension of a Lie algebra.
