The parametrix method for parabolic SPDEs

We consider the Cauchy problem for a linear stochastic partial differential equation. By extending the parametrix method for PDEs whose coefficients are only measurable with respect to the time variable, we prove existence, regularity in Holder classes and estimates from above and below of the fundamental solution. This result is applied to SPDEs by means of the Ito-Wentzell formula, through a random change of variables which transforms the SPDE into a PDE with random coefficients.
