Abstract
In this paper, we study the fractional smoothness of local times of general processes starting from the occupation time formula, and obtain the quasi-sure existence of local times in the sense of the Malliavin calculus. This general result is then applied to the local times of N-parameter d-dimensional Brownian motions, fractional Brownian motions and the self-intersection local time of the 2-dimensional Brownian motion, as well as smooth semimartingales.
