Abstract
We consider a possibly degenerate Kolmogorov Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator of the form L = Tr(BD2) + 〈Az, D〉, where A, B are N × N matrices, z ∈ ℝN, N ≥ 1, which satisfy the Kalman condition which is equivalent to the hypoellipticity condition. We prove the following stability result: the Schauder and Sobolev estimates associated with the corresponding parabolic Cauchy problem remain valid, with the same constant, for the parabolic Cauchy problem associated with a second order perturbation of L, namely for L + Tr(S(t)D2) where S(t) is a non-negative definite N × N matrix depending continuously on t ∈ [0, T]. Our approach relies on the perturbative technique based on the Poisson process introduced in [N. V. Krylov and E. Priola, Arch. Ration. Mech.
