Path regularity of coupled McKean-Vlasov FBSDEs

This paper establishes H\"{o}lder time regularity of solutions to coupled McKean-Vlasov forward-backward stochastic differential equations (MV-FBSDEs). This is not only of fundamental mathematical interest, but also essential for their numerical approximations. We show that a solution triple to a MV-FBSDE with Lipschitz coefficients is 1/2-H\"{o}lder continuous in time in the $L^p$-norm provided that it admits a Lipschitz decoupling field. Special examples include decoupled MV-FBSDEs, coupled MV-FBSDEs with a small time horizon and coupled stochastic Pontryagin systems arsing from mean field control problems.
