Bounded density for diffusions with diffusion coefficients bounded away from $0$

Consider a diffusion given by $$X_t=\int_0^t a(s,X_s)\,dW_s$$ for $t\ge 0$, where $W_\cdot$ is a standard Wiener process/Brownian motion and $a$ is a smooth enough positive function bounded away from $...

For a SDE with smooth transition densities, if every point is "path-accessible", is every positive-measure set probabilistically accessible?

Suppose we have a $C^\infty$ manifold $M$ and $C^\infty$ vector fields $b,\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_k$ on $M$, and for convenience define the set of vector fields $$ \mathcal{S} = \{b,\sigma_1,-\sigma_1,\...

Hitting probability for mean-reverting stochastic process

I quote Delbaen and Shirakawa (2002). Starting from a stochastic differential equation of the form: $$dr_t=\alpha\left(r_{\mu}-r_t\right)dt+\beta\sqrt{\left(r_t-r_m\right)\left(r_M-r_t\right)}dW_t\...
