Quantitative heat kernel estimates for diffusions with distributional drift

Abstract

We consider the stochastic differential equation on ℝ d given by d X t = b(t,Xt ) d t + d Bt, where B is a Brownian motion and b is considered to be a distribution of regularity > - 1/2. We show that the martingale solution of the SDE has a transition kernel Γt and prove upper and lower heat kernel bounds for Γt with explicit dependence on t and the norm of b.
