Abstract

We consider an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with values in R^n driven by a L\'evy process (Z_t) taking values in R^d with d possibly smaller than n. The L\'evy noise can have a degenerate or even vanishing Gaussian component. Under a controllability condition and an assumption on the L\'evy measure of (Z_t), we prove that the law of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process at any time t>0 has a density on R^n. Moreover, when the L\'evy process is of α\alpha-stable type, α(0,2)\alpha \in (0,2), we show that such density is a CC^{\infty}-function.
