Abstract

We prove that the stochastic differential equation Ys,t(x)=Ys,s(x)+0tsf(Ys,s+u(x))dXs+u,Ys,s(x)=xRd. Y_{s,t}(x) = Y_{s,s}(x) + \int_0^{t-s} f(Y_{s,s+u}(x)) dX_{s+u}, Y_{s,s}(x)=x\in\R^d. driven by a L\'evy process whose paths have finite p-variation almost surely for some p[1,2)p\in[1,2) defines a flow of locally C^1-diffeomorphisms provided the vector field f is α\alpha-Lipschitz for some α>p\alpha>p. Using a path- wise approach we relax the smoothness condition normally required for a class of discontinuous semi-martingales.
