Abstract: We consider u(t,x)=(u1(t,x),cdots,ud(t,x)) the solution to a system of non-linear stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension one driven by a d-dimensional space-time white noise. We prove that, when dleq3, the local time L(xi,t) of u(t,x),,;tin[0,T] exists and belongs a.s. to the Sobolev space Halpha(mathbbRd) for alpha<frac4d2, and when dgeq4, the local time does not exist. We also show joint continuity and establish H"{o}lder conditions for the local time of u(t,x),,;tin[0,T]. These results are then used to investigate the irregularity of the coordinate functions of u(t,x),,;tin[0,T]. Comparing to similar results obtained for the linear stochastic heat equation (i.e., the solution is Gaussian), we believe that our results are sharp. Finally, we get a sharp estimate for the partial derivatives of the joint density of (u(t1,x)u(t0,x),cdots,u(tn,x)u(tn1,x)), which is a new result and of independent interest.
