Weak well-posedness for degenerate SDEs driven by L\'evy processes

Abstract

In this article, we study the effects of the propagation of a non-degenerate L\'evy noise through a chain of deterministic differential equations whose coefficients are H\"older continuous and satisfy a weak H\"ormander-like condition. In particular, we assume some non-degeneracy with respect to the components which transmit the noise. Moreover, we characterize, for some specific dynamics, through suitable counterexamples , the almost sharp regularity exponents that ensure the weak well-posedness for the associated SDE. As a by-product of our approach, we also derive some Krylov-type estimates for the density of the weak solutions of the considered SDE.
