Weak well-posedness of stochastic Volterra equations with completely monotone kernels and non-degenerate noise

Abstract

We establish weak existence and uniqueness in law for stochastic Volterra equations (SVEs for short) with completely monotone kernels and non-degenerate noise under mild regularity assumptions. In particular, our results reveal the regularization-by-noise effect for SVEs with singular kernels, allowing for multiplicative noise with H\"{o}lder diffusion coefficients. In order to prove our results, we reformulate the SVE into an equivalent stochastic evolution equation (SEE for short) defined on a Gelfand triplet of Hilbert spaces. We prove weak well-posedness of the SEE using stochastic control arguments, and then translate it into the original SVE.
