Malliavin and flow regularity of SDEs. Application to the study of densities and the stochastic transport equation

Abstract: In this work we present a condition for the regularity, in both space and Malliavin sense, of strong solutions to SDEs driven by Brownian motion. We conjecture that this condition is optimal. As a consequence, we are able to improve the regularity of densities of such solutions. We also apply these results to construct a classical solution to the stochastic transport equation when the drift is Lipschitz.
