Polarity of points for systems of nonlinear stochastic heat equations in the critical dimension

Publication date 30 May 2023

Abstract: Let

u (t, x) = (u_{1} (t, x), d o t s, u_{d} (t, x))

be the solution to the systems of nonlinear stochastic heat equations [ �egin{split} frac{partial}{partial t} u(t, x) &= frac{partial^2}{partial x^2} u(t, x) + sigma(u(t, x)) dot{W}(t, x),\ u(0, x) &= u_0(x), end{split} ] where

t g e 0

,

x i n m a t h b b R

,

d o t W (t, x) = (d o t W_{1} (t, x), d o t s, d o t W_{d} (t, x))

is a vector of

d

independent space-time white noises, and

s i g m a : m a t h b b R^{d} o m a t h b b R^{d i m e s d}

is a matrix-valued function. We say that a subset

S

of

m a t h b b R^{d}

is polar for

u (t, x), t g e 0, x i n m a t h b b R

if [ mathbb{P}{u(t,x) in S ext{ for some } t>0 ext{ and } xinmathbb{R} }=0. ] The main result of this paper shows that, in the critical dimension

d = 6

, all points in

m a t h b b R^{d}

are polar for

u (t, x), t g e 0, x i n m a t h b b R

. This solves an open problem of Dalang, Khoshnevisan and Nualart (2009, 2013) and Dalang, Mueller and Xiao (2021). We also provide a sufficient condition for a subset

S

of

m a t h b b R^{d}

to be polar.
