A Version of Hörmander's Theorem for Markovian Rough Paths
arXiv:2005.09192
Abstract
We consider a rough differential equation of the form \(dY_t=\sum_i V_i(Y_t)d\boldsymbol{X}^i_t+V_0(Y_t)dt \), where \(\boldsymbol{X}_t \) is a Markovian rough path. We demonstrate that if the vector fields \((V_i)_{0\leq i\leq d} \) satisfy Hörmander's bracket generating condition, then \(Y_t\) admits a smooth density with a Gaussian type upper bound, given that the generator of \(X_t\) satisfy certain non-degenerate conditions. The main new ingredient of this paper is the study of non-degenerate property of the Jacobian process of \(X_t\).
