Abstract
We study the regularity of entropy solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations with anisotropic degeneracy and stochastic forcing. Building on previous works, we establish space-time regularity under a non-degeneracy condition that does not require an assumption on the derivative of the symbol of the corresponding kinetic equation, a restriction imposed in earlier studies. This allows us to obtain regularity results for certain equations not accounted for by prior theory, albeit with reduced regularity exponents. Our approach uses a kinetic formulation with two transport equations, one of second order and one of first order, leveraging a form of "parabolic regularity" inherent in these equations that was not utilized in previous studies.
