Darboux Transformation of Diffusion Processes

Darboux transformation of a second-order linear differential operator is a well-known technique with many applications in mathematics and physics. We study the Darboux transformation from the point of view of Markov semigroups of diffusion processes. We construct the Darboux transform of a diffusion...

description Darboux transformation of a second-order linear differential operator is a well-known technique with many applications in mathematics and physics. We study the Darboux transformation from the point of view of Markov semigroups of diffusion processes. We construct the Darboux transform of a diffusion process through a combination of Doob's -transform and a version of Siegmund duality. Our main result is a simple formula that connects transition probability densities of the two processes. We provide several examples of Darboux-transformed diffusion processes related to Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. For these examples, we compute the transition probability density explicitly and derive its spectral representation.
