Transfer of regularity for Markov semigroups

Probability 2022-02-08 v2

Abstract

We study the regularity of a Markov semigroup (Pt)t>0(P_t)_{t>0}, that is, when Pt(x,dy)=pt(x,y)dyP_t(x,dy)=p_t(x,y)dy for a suitable smooth function pt(x,y)p_t(x,y). This is done by transferring the regularity from an approximating Markov semigroup sequence (Ptn)t>0(P^n_t)_{t>0}, nNn\in\mathbb{N}, whose associated densities ptn(x,y)p^n_t(x,y) are smooth and can blow up as nn\to\infty. We use an interpolation type result and we show that if there exists a good equilibrium between the blow up and the speed of convergence, then Pt(x,dy)=pt(x,y)dyP_{t}(x,dy)=p_{t}(x,y)dy and ptp_{t} has some regularity properties.
