Abstract

We study small-noise large deviations for the stochastic heat equation (SHE) on the torus with unbounded, multiplicative space-time white noise. We establish uniform large deviation principles (ULDPs) over unbounded sets of initial data, alongside novel well-posedness and regularity results. The ULDPs are obtained for both continuous-in-space and $L^p$ initial data. For these two classes, the ULDP holds uniformly over $L^q$-bounded subsets, with $q<\infty$ and $q<p$ allowed respectively, so these sets are highly unbounded in the state space. The admissible range of $q$ is dictated by the growth of the noise coefficient in the SHE. Crucially, our methods allow us to reach down to $q=1$. This yields ULDPs over $L^1$-bounded subsets, enabling the study of exit times in physical systems with mass conservation.

Enhanced Dissipation under Variable Growth: Stochastic $p(x)$-Laplace Equations with Transport Noise

We study dissipation enhancement for stochastic $p(x)$-Laplace equations with divergence-free transport noise on $\mathbb T^d$, $d\ge2$. Under log-H\"older continuity and degenerate subcritical growth, we establish global variational well-posedness and an exact energy identity. For every prescribed positive coefficient...

Stochastic heat equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients driven by symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy white noise

We study the stochastic heat equation on a bounded interval with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, driven by symmetric $\alpha$-stable space--time L\'evy white noise, where $1<\alpha<2$. Both the drift and noise coefficients are continuous and have at most linear growth. For bounded deterministic initial data and eve...

Sharp regularity and small ball probabilities for the stochastic heat equation on bounded domains

We consider the stochastic heat equation $\partial_t u(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x) + \dot{W}_\alpha(t,x)$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain with zero Dirichlet boundary condition and zero initial condition, where $\dot{W}_\alpha$ is a Gaussian noise that is white in time and whose spatial covariance is the kernel of $(-\Delta)^{-...

The stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation in critical spaces

We study stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equations in bounded smooth domains with a double-well potential, transport-type noise, and natural Neumann boundary conditions in dimensions $d\le 4$. By employing stochastic maximal regularity techniques and deriving suitable energy estimates, we prove local and global well-posedness...

Spectral gap for the stochastic primitive equations under degenerate Brownian forcing

We prove a weighted Wasserstein spectral gap for the three-dimensional primitive equations on $\mathscr E=\{u\in H^1\cap L^8: \partial_zu\in L^4\}$ under finite-rank additive Brownian forcing that is phase-complete finite Fourier and satisfies a quantitative quadratic saturation condition. In particular, four real forc...

In this paper, we establish large deviations of invariant measures for fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with polynomial reaction term driven by unbounded multiplicative noise on R^n.
