Parabolic Anderson model with colored noise on torus

Abstract

We construct an intrinsic family of Gaussian noises on $d$-dimensional flat torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. It is the analogue of the colored noise on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and allows us to study stochastic PDEs on torus in the It\^{o} sense in high dimensions. With this noise, we consider the parabolic Anderson model (PAM) with measure-valued initial conditions and establish some basic properties of the solution, including a sharp upper and lower bound for the moments and H\"{o}lder continuity in space and time. The study of the toy model of $\mathbb{T}^d$ in the present paper is a first step towards our effort in understanding how geometry and topology play an role in the behavior of stochastic PDEs on general (compact) manifolds.
