Analysis reveals existence of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in Wasserstein spaces, indicating connections to interacting particles systems.
We study linear and nonlinear PDEs defined on the space of P(Tᵈ) over the flat torus Tᵈ, equipped with the Dirichlet-Ferguson measure D. We first develop an analytic framework based on the Wasserstein-Sobolev space H1,2(P(Tᵈ), W₂, D) associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the infinite-dimensional Laplacian acting on functions of measures. Within this setting, we establish existence and uniqueness results for transport-diffusion and Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the Wasserstein space. Our analysis connects the PDE approach with a corresponding interacting particles system providing a probabilistic (Kolmogorov-type) representation of strong solutions. Finally, we extend the theory to semilinear equations and mean-field optimal control problems, together with consistent finite-dimensional approximations.
