In the paper, Harnack inequality and derivative formula are established for stochastic differential equation driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H < 1/2. As applications, strong Feller property, log-Harnack inequality and entropy-cost inequality are given.
As a generalization to the heat semigroup on the Heisenberg group, the diffusion semigroup generated by the subelliptic operator L :=1/2 sum from i=1 to m X_i^2 on R^(m+d):= R^m× R^d is investigated, where X_i(x, y) = sum (σki?xk) from k=1 to m+sum (((A_lx)_i?_(yl)) from t=1 to d,(x, y) ∈ R^(m+d), 1 ≤ i ≤ m for σ an invertible m × m-matrix and {A_l}_1 ≤ l ≤d some m × m-matrices such that the Hrmander condition holds.We first establish Bismut-type and Driver-type derivative formulas with applications on gradient estimates and the coupling/Liouville properties, which are new even for the heat semigroup on the Heisenberg group; then extend some recent results derived for the heat semigroup on the Heisenberg group.
We establish a central limit theorem for a branching Brownian motion with random immigration under the annealed law,where the immigration is determined by another branching Brownian motion.The limit is a Gaussian random measure and the normalization is t3/4for d=3 and t1/2for d≥4,where in the critical dimension d=4 both the immigration and the branching Brownian motion itself make contributions to the covariance of the limit.
