Global solutions for continuous-time Burgers equations and infinite-volume polymer measures

Abstract

We study the stochastic Burgers equation on the whole space, driven by space-homogeneous Gaussian noises that are white in time and colored in space, for both positive and zero viscosity. We show that in dimension one, for any fixed average velocity, there is a unique ergodic global solution to the Burgers equation for all nonnegative viscosities, and that the One Force---One Solution principle holds. We also describe the basin of attraction and show that these global solutions are one-point pullback attractors. Moreover, the viscous global solution converges to the inviscid global solution as the viscosity tends to zero. Our technique relies on the study of polymer measures; accordingly, we establish the existence and uniqueness of infinite-volume polymer measures in a given asymptotic direction, as well as their convergence to semi-infinite minimizers in the zero-temperature limit. We also establish the existence part of all these results in arbitrary dimension larger than one.

Line crossing problem for biased monotonic random walks in the plane

A $β$-biased monotonic random walk in the plane moves from $(x,y)$ to $(x+1,y)$ or $(x,y+1)$ with probabilities $1/(β+1)$ and $β/(β+1)$. We study $Φ_β(α,d)$, the probability that the walk started at the origin ever visits a lattice point strictly above the line $y=αx+d$, and $Ψ_β(α,d)$, the probability that it visits a lattice point \emph{on} the line after leaving the origin. For integer slopes $α=p$ we show $Φ_β(p,d)=ρ^{\lfloor d\rfloor+1}$, where $ρ$ is the smallest positive root of $y^{p+1}-(β+1)y+β=0$, give the Fuss--Catalan series for $ρ$, identify $ρ$ with the extinction probability of a Galton--Watson process, and compute the exact law and mean of the first crossing point. We prove that the return probability is $Ψ_β(p,0)=(p+1)(1-β/((β+1)ρ))$, which equals $(p+1)/(β+1)$ for $β\ge p$. For rational slopes $α=r/s$ we obtain $Φ_β$ in closed form from the $s$ large roots of the kernel $\tfracβ{β+1}z^{r+s}-z^r+\tfrac1{β+1}$, and $Ψ_β$ as a ratio of Green's functions. For arbitrary real $α$ we prove that the walk crosses every line $y=αx+d$ almost surely if and only if $β\geα$, and we establish the two-sided bound $e^{-θ(d+1)}\leΦ_β(α,d) β$.

Commutation relations for two-sided radial SLE

We study the commutation relation for 2-radial SLE in the unit disc starting from two distinct boundary points. We follow the framework introduced by Dubédat~[12]. Under an additional requirement of the interchangeability of the two curves, we classify all locally commuting 2-radial SLE$_κ$ for $κ\in (0,8)$: it is either two-sided radial SLE$_κ$ with spiral of constant spiraling rate or chordal SLE$_κ$ weighted by a power of the conformal radius of its complement. Namely, for fixed $κ$ and starting points, we have exactly two one-parameter families of locally commuting 2-radial SLE curves. We also discuss the semiclassical limit of the commutation relation as $κ\to 0$. In particular, we show that the limit for the second family with an appropriately chosen power of the conformal radius is a chord that minimizes a modified chordal Loewner energy, which is unique only when the endpoints are not antipodal.

Stochastic optimal transport for the Langevin dynamics and its zero-mass limit

We introduce a stochastic optimal transport for the Langevin dynamics with positive mass and study its zero--mass limit. The new aspect of this paper is that we only fix the initial and terminal probability distributions of the positions of particles under consideration, but not those of their velocities, with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in mind. In the zero--mass limit, we show that the minimizers of our stochastic optimal transport is tight if and only if the initial momentum (=(mass)$\times$(velocity)) of a particle converges to zero. We also prove that the limit of minimizers of our stochastic optimal transport is a minimizer of a standard stochastic optimal transport for continuous semimartingales.
