Generic Strong Well-Posedness for McKean--Vlasov SDEs with Jumps in a Krylov-Stable Coefficient Space

We prove that strong well-posedness is generic for McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations with jumps in a complete coefficient space that allows genuinely discontinuous state dependence. For every $T>0$, there exists a dense residual subset $\mathfrak R_T$, independent of the initial state, such that every coefficient $a\in\mathfrak R_T$ generates a unique strong solution for every deterministic initial condition $x\in\mathbb R^d$. Moreover, the solution map $x\mapsto X^{a,x}$ is continuous in $\mathcal S_T^2$, and every approximation by spatially Lipschitz coefficients converges locally uniformly in $x$ to the same canonical solution family. The coefficients are uniformly bounded, uniformly non-degenerate in the diffusion component, and Lipschitz continuous in the law with respect to the $2$-Wasserstein distance, while their state dependence may be merely measurable. The ambient space is obtained by completing a spatially Lipschitz core under a Krylov-stable metric based on local $L^{2(d+1)}$ coefficient errors. A stopped conditional Krylov--Melnikov occupation estimate converts convergence in this metric into occupation convergence along non-degenerate It\^o--L\'evy trajectories. The key probabilistic ingredient is a set-valued stability theorem: near a core coefficient, every strong solution of every nearby solvable equation remains close to the unique core solution, without any uniqueness assumption on the nearby equation. Together with closedness of the strong-solution relation, this permits a Baire-category argument on the completed coefficient space. We also give an intrinsic spatial-translation criterion showing that the completion contains natural classes with essential spatial discontinuities. A projective-limit argument yields the corresponding global-time generic well-posedness result.

Regularity Preservation for Jump-Type Stochastic Transport Equations with Singular Drift

We study a first-order stochastic transport equation driven by Brownian transport noise and a nonlinear state-dependent Poisson jump term. The drift vector field is merely integrable and satisfies the subcritical Krylov--R\"ockner condition. The dependence of the jump coefficient on the solution creates a nontrivial coupling between the solution value and its spatial gradient. To handle this coupling, we construct a stochastic characteristic system for the position, the solution value, and the gradient, and derive a characteristic representation by means of an It\^o--Wentzell formula with jumps. For singular drifts, we combine smooth approximation, the Zvonkin transformation, estimates for stochastic flows, and stochastic Gronwall inequalities to pass to a weakly differentiable limit. Uniqueness is established directly in the weakly differentiable class through a renormalized energy estimate for the difference of two solutions, including the contribution of the Poisson compensator. Under suitable integrability and differentiability assumptions on the jump coefficient, we prove the existence and uniqueness of weakly differentiable solutions. We further show that the first-order spatial Sobolev regularity of the initial datum is preserved by the evolution.

Tamed Euler Schemes for Singular SDEs with Multiplicative Levy Noise

We prove strong convergence rates for tamed Euler schemes of multidimensional stochastic differential equations with singular drift, multiplicative Brownian noise, and multiplicative Levy noise. The drift is assumed to satisfy a Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin type condition, while the diffusion and jump coefficients have Sobolev-type spatial regularity. The proof is based on a nonlocal Zvonkin transform, Krylov-type estimates, and a stochastic Gronwall argument. The main novelty is an error decomposition that isolates two jump-induced contributions: a compensated jump martingale error and a nonlocal compensator error caused by Euler freezing. This decomposition yields explicit rates and recovers the Brownian-type estimate when the jump coefficient vanishes.

The Gursky-Streets equation and its application to the $σ_k$ Yamabe problem

The Gursky-Streets equation are introduced as the geodesic equation of a metric structure in conformal geometry. This geometric structure has played a substantial role in the proof of uniqueness of $σ_2$ Yamabe problem in dimension four. In this paper we solve the Gursky-Streets equations with uniform $C^{1, 1}$ estimates for $2k\leq n$. An important new ingredient is to show the concavity of the operator which holds for all $k\leq n$. Our proof of the concavity heavily relies on Garding's theory of hyperbolic polynomials and results from the theory of real roots for (interlacing) polynomials. Together with this concavity, we are able to solve the equation with the uniform $C^{1, 1}$ \emph{a priori estimates} for all the cases $n\geq 2k$. Moreover, we establish the uniqueness of the solution to the degenerate equations for the first time. As an application, we prove that if $k\geq 3$ and $M^{2k}$ is conformally flat, any solution solution of $σ_k$ Yamabe problem is conformal diffeomorphic to the round sphere $S^{2k}$.
