Abstract

We provide in this work a robust solution theory for random rough differential equations of mean field type dXt=V(Xt,L(Xt))dt+F(Xt,L(Xt))dWt, dX_t = V(X_t,\mathcal{L}(X_t))dt + F(X_t,\mathcal{L}(X_t))dW_t, where WW is a random rough path and L(Xt)\mathcal{L}(X_t) stands for the law of XtX_t, with mean field interaction in both the drift and diffusivity. The analysis requires the introduction of a new rough path-like setting and an associated notion of controlled path. We use crucially Lions' approach to differential calculus on Wasserstein space along the way.
