Bienvenue sur mon site web. Je suis mathématicien à l'Université Laval. Ma recherche se concentre sur les ÉDPs et les équations stochastiques singulières. Je travaille avec des singularités d'ordre critique qui ne sont que récemment devenues accessibles grâce aux nouvelles méthodes de théorie des opérateurs et d'analyse harmonique que je développe avec mes co-auteurs et mes étudiants. On peut faire une analogie avec les particules élémentaires entrant en collision à hautes énergies dans un accélérateur de particules : ce sont les singularités les plus fortes qui révèlent la structure profonde des principaux opérateurs de la Physique Mathématique.

Welcome to my website. I am a mathematician working at Laval University. My research centers on singular PDEs and singular stochastic differential equations. I work with critical order singularities that only recently became accessible, due to the new operator-theoretic and harmonic-analytic methods that I develop with my co-authors and my students. One can draw a loose analogy with elementary particles colliding at high energies in a particle acceleratior: it is the strongest singularities that reveal the deep structure of the principal operators of Mathematical Physics.







    



[36] D.Kinzebulatov "On particle systems and critical strengths of general singular interactions", Preprint, arXiv:2402.17009 2402.17009.pdf

For finite interacting particle systems with strong repulsing-attracting or general interactions, we prove global weak well-posedness almost up to the critical threshold of the strengths of attracting interactions (independent of the number of particles), and establish other regularity results, such as a heat kernel bound in the regions where strongly attracting particles are close to each other. Our main analytic instruments are a variant of De Giorgi's method in L^p and an abstract desingularization theorem.


[35] D.Kinzebulatov "Laplacian with singular drift in a critical borderline case", Preprint, arXiv:2309.04436 2309.04436.pdf

We reach the critical magnitude of form-bounded drifts. The corresponding strong well-posedness theory of the parabolic diffusion equation is developed in an Orlicz space that is, basically, dictated by the drift term.

We use the approach of Roeckner-Zhao to prove strong well-posedness for SDEs with singular drift satisfying some minimal assumptions.


[33]
SURVEY D.Kinzebulatov "Form-boundedness and SDEs with singular drift", Preprint, arXiv:2305.00146 2305.00146.pdf

[32] D.Kinzebulatov, Yu.A.Semenov "Remarks on parabolic Kolmogorov operator", Preprint, arXiv:2303.03993 2303.03993.pdf

We establish gradient estimates needed to study parabolic equations and SDEs with time-inhomogeneous singular drifts.


[31] D.Kinzebulatov "Parabolic equations and SDEs with time-inhomogeneous Morrey drift", Preprint, arXiv:2301.13805 2301.13805.pdf

We prove existence and uniqueness of weak solution of SDE with singular drift in a very large class (essentially, the largest scaling-invariant Morrey class).


[30] D.Kinzebulatov, R.Vafadar "On divergence-free (form-bounded type) drifts"
, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. Ser. S, to appear 2209.04537.pdf

We prove a posteriori Harnack inequality for elliptic equation with divergence-free singular drift. A key step in our proofs is a new iteration procedure used in addition to the classical De Giorgi's iterations and Moser's method.


[29] D.Kinzebulatov, Yu.A.Semenov "Regularity for parabolic equations with singular non-zero divergence vector fields", J. Differential Equations, to appear  2205.05169.pdf

We prove Gaussian bounds on the heat kernel of parabolic equation with singular drift having singular divergence, taking into account possible cancellation phenomena.

We establish quantiative estimates on the order of vanishing of Green's function of Schroedinger operator under minimal assumptions on the potential (i.e. form-boundedness, which ensures that the Schroedinger operator is well defined in L2). The proofs use Carleman's method.


[27] D. Kinzebulatov, Yu.A. Semenov "Sharp solvability for singular SDEs", Electron. J. Probab., 28 (2023), article no. 69, 1–15. 2110.11232.pdf

The attracting Hardy drift provides a counterexample to weak solvability of SDEs if the coefficient of the drift is larger than a certain critical threshold. We prove a positive well-posednss result, reaching this critical threshold from below, for the entire class of form-bounded drifts.

We consider fractional diffusion operator with a drift in the supercritical case, i.e. when the drift dominates the diffusion. We show that the heat kernel can vanish even if the drift is Holder continuous.

We shed light on the effect of the positive and
negative parts of singular divergence of the drift on the Gaussian heat kernel bounds. In particular, we establish for the first time and for a large class of drifts a Gaussian lower bound in the situation where there is no Gaussian upper bound.

We develop solution theory, and establish a posteriori Gaussian heat kernel bounds, for divergence-form parabolic equation under minimal assumptions on the drift, such that there is no weak solution theory in L2, but there is nevertheless a strong solution theory in L1. The proofs use Nash's method.

[13] D. Kinzebulatov "Feller generators with measure-valued drifts", Potential Anal., 48 (2018), p. 207-222 measure_perturb.pdf

We construct Feller process under very broad assumptions on singular measure-valued drift, using an interpla between two resolvent representations (one not allowing measure-valued drifts, but providing strong Sobolev regularity theory, and the other one providing minimal theory but allowing to handle measure-valued drifts).

Tl;dr: This is a major advancement in the regularity theory of diffusion operator with singular drift, which allowed to go beyond the standard classes of singular drifts (such as Kato class or form-bounded drifts).

Tl;dr: How
does fixing the type of discontinuity of boundary values of a bounded holomorphic function F on the unit disk D affects the properties of F inside of D? Lindelof theorem states that the boundary values f=F|_{\partial D} of F can not have first-kind discontinuities. However, there are functions \Phi such that \Phi(F)|_{\partial D} can be first-kind disconinuous. It turns out that in the case \Phi(z)=|z| there is a connection between bounded holomorphic functions on D whose moduli can have only first-kind boundary discontinuities and Sarason's semi-almost periodic functions on \partial D (a priori, there is nothing almost periodic about bounded holomorphic functions and first-kind discontinuities!).
This link allows us to apply, in our study, the results on almost periodic functions. In particular, we establish
for this algebra of bounded of holomorphic functions:
 - Grothendieck's approximation property (still a conjecture for H^\infty(D)).
 - Corona theorem.
 - Results on completion of matrices with entries in this algebra,
etc.
Our methods admit extension to subalgebras determined by other functions \Phi.

We study a new local invariant of 
singularities of complex analytic sets. This invariant arises as the 'correcting exponent' in a family of Sobolev-type inequalities relating norms of functions on these sets.





Algorithmic trading (2012-2014):

A. Cartea, S. Jaimungal and D. Kinzebulatov "Algorithmic trading with learning", Int. J. Applied and Theoretical Finance, 19, no.4, 1650028 (2016) ( http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2373196)

We propose a model where an algorithmic trader takes a view on the distribution of prices at a 
future date and then decides how to trade in the direction of her predictions using the optimal mix of market and limit orders. Namely, we model the asset midquote price as a randomized Brownian bridge S_t=S_0+\sigma\beta_{tT}+ tD/T 
where D is a random variable that encodes the trader's prior belief on the asset's future price distribution, the noise term \beta_{tT} is a standard Brownian bridge over time interval independent of D. As time flows, the trader learns the realized value of D.

An accelerated share repurchase (ASR) allows a fiirm to repurchase a significant portion of its shares immediately, while shifting the burden of reducing the impact and uncertainty in the trade to an intermediary. The intermediary must then purchase the shares from the market over several days, weeks, or as much as several months. In this work, we address the intermediary's optimal execution and exit strategy taking into account the impact that trading has on the market. We demonstrate that it is optimal to exercise when the TWAP exceeds \zeta(t)S_t, where S_t is the fundamental price of the asset and \zeta(t) is deterministic. Moreover, we develop a dimensional reduction of the Stochastic Control and Stopping problem and implement an efficient numerical scheme to compute the optimal trading and exit strategies.
