Regularities and Exponential Ergodicity in Entropy for SDEs Driven by Distribution Dependent Noise

Abstract

As two crucial tools characterizing regularity properties of stochastic systems, the log-Harnack inequality and Bismut formula have been intensively studied for distribution dependent (McKean-Vlasov) SDEs. However, due to technical difficulties, existing results mainly focus on the case with distribution free noise. In this paper, we introduce a noise decomposition argument to establish the log-Harnack inequality and Bismut formula for SDEs with distribution dependent noise, in both non-degenerate and degenerate situations. As application, the exponential ergodicity in entropy is investigated.
