Abstract: We continue our study of intermittency for the parabolic Anderson equation partialu/partialt=kappaDeltau+xiu, where , kappa is the diffusion constant, Delta is the discrete Laplacian, and is a space-time random medium. The solution of the equation describes the evolution of a ``reactant u under the influence of a ``catalyst xi. In this paper we focus on the case where xi is exclusion with a symmetric random walk transition kernel, starting from equilibrium with density hoin(0,1). We consider the annealed Lyapunov exponents, i.e., the exponential growth rates of the successive moments of u. We show that these exponents are trivial when the random walk is recurrent, but display an interesting dependence on the diffusion constant kappa when the random walk is transient, with qualitatively different behavior in different dimensions. Special attention is given to the asymptotics of the exponents for kappaoinfty, which is controlled by moderate deviations of xi requiring a delicate expansion argument. In G"artner and den Hollander cite{garhol04} the case where xi is a Poisson field of independent (simple) random walks was studied. The two cases show interesting differences and similarities. Throughout the paper, a comparison of the two cases plays a crucial role.
