Preprint · arXiv:2609.11468 (2026). Max Sauerbrey and Joshua Utley study support propagation and waiting-time phenomena for stochastic porous media equations with conservative noise.
We study nonlinear Schrödinger equations with nonlinear Stratonovich noise in their energy space $H^1(\mathbb R^d;\mathbb C)$. By combining the stochastic Strichartz estimates derived in [Potential Anal. 41 (2014), pp.\ 269–315] with the approach from [Ann.\ Inst.\ H.\ Poincaré Phys.\ Théor.\…
Starting from localized energy estimates, we prove finite speed of propagation for kinetic solutions to stochastic porous media equations with nonlinear conservative noise, the existence and uniqueness of which has recently been established. In particular, we propose a novel iteration technique which…
Accepted / forthcoming · Oberwolfach Report for the seminar Stochastic Partial Differential Equations in Critical Spaces. We study stochastic, parabolic-parabolic Keller–Segel equations on the $d$-dimensional torus in scaling critical Besov spaces, for $d \geq 3$. Using stochastic maximal regularity estimates, we prove local well-posedness of the equation, i.e.,…
Workshop report · Oberwolfach Reports 23(1), 803–806 (2026). Incorporating thermal noise before discretising a continuum model.
We establish a solution theory for the incompressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier system with thermal noise, posed on the three-dimensional torus. While in the incompressible deterministic setting the equation for the velocity can be solved independently of the temperature, the inclusion of the effects of…
The celebrated De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory ensures that solutions to uniformly elliptic or parabolic PDEs are bounded and Hölder continuous, even with merely bounded measurable coefficients. For parabolic SPDEs with transport noise, boundedness has recently been established, but Hölder continuity remains a key…
Published · Communications in Mathematical Physics 407, 158 (2026). We consider strictly positive solutions to a class of fourth-order conservative quasilinear SPDEs on the $d$-dimensional torus modeled after the stochastic thin-film equation. We prove local Lipschitz estimates in Bessel potential spaces…
Published · Stochastic PDE: Analysis and Computations 13, 1502–1557 (2025). Recently, many existence results for the stochastic thin-film equation were established in the case of a quadratic mobility exponent $n=2$, in which the noise term $\partial_x(u^\frac{n}{2}\mathcal{W})$ becomes linear. In the case of…
Published · Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 379 (2026) 4, pp. 2343-2383. The stochastic thin-film equation with mobility exponent $n\in [\frac{8}{3},3)$ on the one-dimensional torus with multiplicative Stratonovich noise is considered. We show that martingale solutions exist for non-negative initial values. This advances on…
Published · Stochastic Processes and their Applications 157, 376–412 (2023). We construct and analyze the Jacobi process – in mathematical biology referred to as Wright-Fisher diffusion – using a Dirichlet form. The corresponding Dirichlet space takes the form of a Sobolev space…
Published · Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincaré B 60(1), 373–412 (2024). We construct solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation with quadratic mobility and Stratonovich gradient noise in the physically relevant dimension $d=2$ and allow in particular for solutions with non-full support. The construction…
