Given a real and separable Hilbert space H we consider the measure-valued equation \begin{equation*} \int_H\phi(x)\mu_t(dx)- \int_H\phi(x)\mu(dx)= \int_0^t(\int_HK_0\phi(x)\mu_s(dx))ds, \end{equation*} where K_0 is the Kolmogorov…
We develop regularity theory for elliptic Kolmogorov operator with divergence-free drift in a large class (or, more generally, drift having singular divergence). A key step in our proofs is "Caccioppoli's iterations", used in addition to…
We study regularity properties for invariant measures of semilinear diffusions in a separable Hilbert space. Based on a pathwise estimate for the underlying stochastic convolution, we prove a priori estimates on such invariant measures. As…
