We fix any dimension d≥1 and consider the space of continuous functions Ω=C([0,∞),Rd) endowed with the topology of uniform convergence of compact subsets. Ω is tacitly equipped with the Wiener measure Px corresponding to an Rd valued Brownian motion ω starting in x∈Rd. The Gaussian field {HTω)}ω∈Ω at level T>0 then is given by
HT(ω)=∫T0∫Rdκ(ωs−y)B(s,y)dyds,
where B is space-time white noise and κ is a non-negative mollifier.
The renormalized GMC measure corresponding to the field
{HT(ω)}ω∈Ω
is given by
ˆMβ,T(dω)=1Zβ,Texp{βHT(ω)−β2T2(κ⋆κ)(0)}P0(dω)
with Zβ,T denoting the total mass. The total mass or partition function is closely related to the solution
uϵ,t(x) of the (smoothed) multiplicative noise stochastic heat equation
duϵ,t=12Δuϵ,tdt+βϵd−22uϵ,tdBϵ,t,uϵ,0=1.
The parameter β, known as the inverse temperature, captures the strength of the noise. In a recent work by Mukherjee, Shamov and Zeitouni, it was shown that, for fixed t>0 and for β small enough, uϵ,t(0) converges as ϵ→0 in distribution to a strictly positive random variable, while for β large, it converges in probability to zero.
For β small we have proved a quenched CLT for the endpoint of ω under ˆMβ,T and for β large enough, we proved that the endpoint is localized in random regions of the space. We also considered ℓ∞ balls around the path ω. For these balls there is no localization under the GMC-measure ˆMβ,T for any value of β.
