 According to DiPerna-Lions theory, velocity fields with weak
derivatives in L^ p   spaces possess weakly regular flows. When a velocity
field is perturbed by a white noise, the corresponding (stochastic) flow
is far more regular in spatial variables; a diffusion with a drift in a
suitable L p   space possesses weak derivatives with exponential bounds.
As an application we show that a Hamiltonian system that is perturbed by a
white noise produces a symplectic flow for a Hamiltonian function that is
merely in W^{ 1,p}  for p  strictly larger than dimension. I also discuss
the potential application of such regularity bounds to study solutions of
Navier-Stokes equation with the aid of Constantin-Iyer's circulation
formula.
