Pathwise uniqueness and continuous dependence for SDEs with nonregular drift

A new proof of a pathwise uniqueness result of Krylov and R\"{o}ckner is given. It concerns SDEs with drift having only certain integrability properties. In spite of the poor regularity of the drift, pathwise continuous dependence on initial conditions may be obtained, by means of this new proof. The proof is formulated in such a way to show that the only major tool is a good regularity theory for the heat equation forced by a function with the same regularity of the drift

Renormalized solutions for stochastic transport equations and the regularization by bilinear multiplicative noise

A linear stochastic transport equation with non-regular coefficients is considered. Under the same assumption of the deterministic theory, all weak $L^\infty$-solutions are renormalized. But then, if the noise is nondegenerate, uniqueness of weak $L^\infty$-solutions does not require essential new assumptions, opposite to the deterministic case where for instance the divergence of the drift is asked to be bounded. The proof gives a new explanation why bilinear multiplicative noise may have a regularizing effect

Analysis of equilibrium states of Markov solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations driven by additive noise

We prove that every Markov solution to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with periodic boundary conditions driven by additive Gaussian noise is uniquely ergodic. The convergence to the (unique) invariant measure is exponentially fast. Moreover, we give a well-posedness criterion for the equations in terms of invariant measures. We also analyse the energy balance and identify the term which ensures equality in the balance.Comment: 32 page

Regularity of transition semigroups associated to a 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equation

A 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with a suitable non degenerate additive noise is considered. The regularity in the initial conditions of every Markov transition kernel associated to the equation is studied by a simple direct approach. A by-product of the technique is the equivalence of all transition probabilities associated to every Markov transition kernel.Comment: 17 page

Markov selections for the 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equations

We investigate the Markov property and the continuity with respect to the initial conditions (strong Feller property) for the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations forced by an additive noise. First, we prove, by means of an abstract selection principle, that there are Markov solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. Due to the lack of continuity of solutions in the space of finite energy, the Markov property holds almost everywhere in time. Then, depending on the regularity of the noise, we prove that any Markov solution has the strong Feller property for regular initial conditions. We give also a few consequences of these facts, together with a new sufficient condition for well-posedness.Comment: 59 pages; corrected several errors and typos, added reference
