In the case of constant diffusions and BV drifts, we obtain such a result by studying the related stochastic transport equation. In the case of non-constant diffusions and Sobolev drifts, we use a direct method. In particular, we extend the recent results on ODEs with non-smooth vector fields to SDEs. Moreover, we also give a criterion for the existence of invariant measures for the associated transition semigroup.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-08-18T08:12:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10", "60H15" ], "keywords": [ "irregular coefficients", "stochastic flows", "non-smooth vector fields", "stochastic differential equations", "related stochastic transport equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0907.4866Z" } } }
