Unlike previous results in the area the result covers a class of infinite activity jump processes. The result is accompolished by using carefully crafted refinements to the classical arguments used in proving smoothness of density via Malliavin calculus. In particular, a key ingredient is provided by our proof that the semimartinagle inequality of Norris persists for discontinuous semimartingales when the jumps of the semimartinagale are small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-10-02T14:09:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H07", "60H15" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic differential equations", "smooth density", "generic markovian jump diffusion", "infinite activity jump processes", "hoermanders conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......2364C" } } }
