Abstract

We prove uniqueness in law for possibly degenerate SDEs having a linear part in the drift term. Diffusion coefficients corresponding to non-degenerate directions of the noise are assumed to be continuous. When the diffusion part is constant we recover the classical degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process which only has to satisfy the Hormander hypoellipticity condition. In the proof we also use global L p -estimates for hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators recently proved in Bramanti et al. (Math. Z. 266, 789–816 2010) and adapt the localization procedure introduced by Stroock and Varadhan. Appendix contains a quite general localization principle for martingale problems.
