Exact asymptotics of the stochastic wave equation with time-independent noise

Abstract

In this article, we study the stochastic wave equation in all dimensions $d\leq 3$, driven by a Gaussian noise $\dot{W}$ which does not depend on time. We assume that either the noise is white, or the covariance function of the noise satisfies a scaling property similar to the Riesz kernel. The solution is interpreted in the Skorohod sense using Malliavin calculus. We obtain the exact asymptotic behaviour of the $p$-th moment of the solution either when the time is large or when $p$ is large. For the critical case, that is the case when $d=3$ and the noise is white, we obtain the exact transition time for the second moment to be finite.
