AbstractWe consider analytically weak solutions to semilinear stochastic partial differential equations with non-anticipating coefficients driven by a cylindrical Brownian motion. The solutions are allowed to take values in Banach spaces. We show that weak uniqueness is equivalent to weak joint uniqueness, and thereby generalize a theorem by A.S. Cherny to an infinite dimensional setting. Our proof for the technical key step is different from Cherny’s and uses cylindrical martingale problems. As an application, we deduce a dual version of the Yamada–Watanabe theorem, i.e. we show that strong existence and weak uniqueness imply weak existence and strong uniqueness.
