Abstract: We prove a representation for the support of McKean Vlasov Equations. To do so, we construct functional quantizations for the law of Brownian motion as a measure over the (non-reflexive) Banach space of H"older continuous paths. By solving optimal Karhunen Lo`eve expansions and exploiting the compact embedding of Gaussian measures, we obtain a sequence of deterministic finite supported measures that converge to the law of a Brownian motion with explicit rate. We show the approximation sequence is near optimal with very favourable integrability properties and prove these approximations remain true when the paths are enhanced to rough paths. These results are of independent interest. The functional quantization results then yield a novel way to build deterministic, finite supported measures that approximate the law of the McKean Vlasov Equation driven by the Brownian motion which crucially avoid the use of random empirical distributions. These are then used to solve an approximate skeleton process that characterises the support of the McKean Vlasov Equation. We give explicit rates of convergence for the deterministic finite supported measures in rough-path H"older metrics and determine the size of the particle system required to accurately estimate the law of McKean Vlasov equations with respect to the H"older norm.
