A singular parabolic {A}nderson model (Q1767533): Difference between revisions

The authors consider solutions \(u=u(t,x)\) of the parabolic Anderson model, which is given by the following linear stochastic partial differential equation with multiplicative noise: \[ \partial_t u=\frac12 \Delta u +\kappa u \dot{F} \] for \(x\in\mathbb{R}^d\) in dimension \(d\geq3\), where \(\dot{F}\) is a mean zero Gaussian noise with singular covariance \[ \mathbf{E} (\dot{F}(t,x)\dot{F}(s,y)) =\delta(t-s)| x-y| ^{-2}\;. \] For sufficiently small \(\kappa>0\) and under suitable assumptions on the initial conditions, the authors show that solutions of the corresponding martingale problem only exist as singular measures, which is different from the case of \(\delta(t-s)| x-y| ^{-p}\) with \(0<p<2\). Furthermore, the solutions are unique in law and various properties of the solutions are shown, like extinction for time \(t\to\infty\), lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the support, and density of the support. Some of the key technical tools are scaling, Wiener-chaos expansion, self-duality, and moment formulae. The resctriction to \(\kappa\in(0,(d-2)/2)\) ensures the existence of moments of second order.
