Diffusion semigroup on manifolds with time-dependent metrics

Let $L_t:=\Delta_t +Z_t$, $t\in [0,T_c)$ on a differential manifold equipped with time-depending complete Riemannian metric $(g_t)_{t\in [0,T_c)}$, where $\Delta_t$ is the Laplacian induced by $g_t$ and $(Z_t)_{t\in [0,T_c)}$ is a family of $C^{1,1}$-vector fields. We first present some explicit criteria for the non-explosion of the diffusion processes generated by $L_t$; then establish the derivative formula for the associated semigroup; and finally, present a number of equivalent semigroup inequalities for the curvature lower bound condition, which include the gradient inequalities, transportation-cost inequalities, Harnack inequalities and functional inequalities for the diffusion semigroup

Stochastic differential games for fully coupled FBSDEs with jumps

This paper is concerned with stochastic differential games (SDGs) defined through fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) which are governed by Brownian motion and Poisson random measure. For SDGs, the upper and the lower value functions are defined by the controlled fully coupled FBSDEs with jumps. Using a new transformation introduced in [6], we prove that the upper and the lower value functions are deterministic. Then, after establishing the dynamic programming principle for the upper and the lower value functions of this SDGs, we prove that the upper and the lower value functions are the viscosity solutions to the associated upper and the lower Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) equations, respectively. Furthermore, for a special case (when $\sigma,\ h$ do not depend on $y,\ z,\ k$), under the Isaacs' condition, we get the existence of the value of the game.Comment: 33 page

LpL^p estimates for fully coupled FBSDEs with jumps

In this paper we study useful estimates, in particular $L^p$-estimates, for fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with jumps. These estimates are proved at one hand for fully coupled FBSDEs with jumps under the monotonicity assumption for arbitrary time intervals and on the other hand for such equations on small time intervals. Moreover, the well-posedness of this kind of equation is studied and regularity results are obtained.Comment: 19 page
