Pointwise weak existence of distorted skew Brownian motion with respect to discontinuous Muckenhoupt weights

Abstract

For any starting point in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we identify the stochastic differential equation that is satisfied by distorted Brownian motion with respect to a certain discontinuous Muckenhoupt $A_2$-weight $\psi$. The discontinuities of $\psi$ typically take place on a sequence of level sets of the Euclidean norm $D_k:=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^d\, | \;\|x\|=d_k\}$, $k\in\mathbb{Z}$, where $(d_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\subset (0,\infty)$ may have accumulation points and each level set $D_k$ plays the role of a permeable membrane.
