We study, in two space dimensions, the heat equation with a random potential that is a white noise in space and time. We introduce a regularization of the noise and prove that, by a suitable renormalization of the coupling coefficient, the covariance has a non-trivial limit when the regularization is removed. The limit is described in terms of a two-body Schrodinger operator with singular interaction.

Moments of the 2D SHE at criticality

We study the stochastic heat equation in two spatial dimensions with a multiplicative white noise, as the limit of the equation driven by a noise that is mollified in space and white in time. As the…

The critical 2d Stochastic Heat Flow is not a Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos

. The critical 2 d Stochastic Heat Flow (SHF) is a stochastic process of random measures on R 2 , recently constructed in [CSZ21]. We show that this process falls outside the class of Gaussian…

Fluctuations of the solutions to the KPZ equation in dimensions three and higher

We prove, using probabilistic techniques and analysis on the Wiener space, that the large scale fluctuations of the KPZ equation in $$d\ge 3$$ d ≥ 3 with a small coupling constant, driven by a white…

The two-dimensional KPZ equation in the entire subcritical regime

We consider the KPZ equation in space dimension 2 driven by space-time white noise. We showed in previous work that if the noise is mollified in space on scale and its strength is scaled as , then a…

GAUSSIAN FLUCTUATIONS FROM THE 2D KPZ EQUATION

We prove the two dimensional KPZ equation with a logarithmically tuned nonlinearity and a small coupling constant, scales to the EdwardsWilkinson equation with an effective variance. MSC 2010: 35R60,…

Gaussian limits for subcritical chaos

Dynamic scaling of growing interfaces.

A model is proposed for the evolution of the profile of a growing interface that exhibits nontrivial relaxation patterns, and the exact dynamic scaling form obtained for a one-dimensional interface is in excellent agreement with previous numerical simulations.
