Sharp Non-uniqueness in Law for Stochastic Differential Equations on the Whole Space
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the stochastic differential equation on : \begin{align*} \dif X_t&=v(t,X_t)\dif t+\sqrt{2} \dif W_t. \end{align*} For any finite collection of initial probability measures on and , we construct a divergence-free drift field such that the associated SDE admits at least two distinct weak solutions originating from each initial measure . This result is sharp in view of the well-known uniqueness of strong solutions for drifts in , as established in \cite{KR05}. As a corollary, there exists a measurable set with positive Lebesgue measure such that for any , the SDE with drift admits at least two weak solutions when with start in . The proof proceeds by constructing two distinct probability solutions to the associated Fokker-Planck equation via a convex integration method adapted to all of (instead of merely the torus), together with refined heat kernel estimate.
