On the parabolic Adams theorem and its applications to diffusion processes

TL;DR
The paper develops a unified PDE/Stochastic-Analysis framework for parabolic Itô equations with divergence-form operators and low-regularity, possibly singular drift terms. By leveraging the parabolic Adams theorem and parabolic Riesz potentials, it obtains robust weighted $L_{p}$ estimates for the parabolic evolution family and moment bounds for derivatives with respect to initial data, under Morrey-class lower-order terms. It establishes Hölder regularity and strong-solution-type results for stochastic flows when $D\sigma$ and $b$ are small in parabolic Morrey spaces, and it presents a conjecture extending these results to drifts with stronger time-singularities, with a plan to prove via the developed gradient-estimate machinery. The work provides a principled path to weak- and strong-solution theory in settings with minimal coefficient regularity and to quantitative stability of stochastic flows under Morrey-type control.
Abstract
We show how the parabolic version of the Adams theorem and its corollary can be used to estimate in $L_{p}$ the evolution family associated to a divergence form second-order parabolic operator with parabolic Morrey lower-order terms and also how to estimate the moments of the derivatives of solutions of Itô equations with respect to the initial data when the drift term has singularities.
