Weak and strong well-posedness for SPDEs with singular drifts

Abstract/Media

Zoom Link

We consider the stochastic heat equation with distributional drift

$$

d_t u _t = \Delta u + b(u) + \xi,

$$

where $\xi$ is space-time white noise and $b$ is a Schwartz distribution. We show how the stochastic sewing  of Lê and the generalized couplings of Hairer and Mattingly can be used to establish well-posedness of this equation. If time permits, we discuss how similar ideas can be applied to prove well-posedness of stochastic wave equations with irregular drift and to obtain small-mass limits (Kramers–Smoluchowski approximation).
