Large Rank-Based Models with Common Noise

Abstract: For large systems of Brownian particles interacting through their ranks introduced in (Banner, Fernholz, Karatzas, 2005), the empirical cumulative distribution function satisfies a porous medium PDE. However, when we introduce a common noise, the limit is no longer deterministic. Instead, we show that this limit is a solution of a stochastic PDE related to this porous medium PDE. This stochastic PDE is somewhat similar to the equations developed for conservation laws with rough stochastic fluxes (Lions, Perthame, Souganidis, 2013).
