Consider a parabolic stochastic PDE of the form $partial_t u=frac{1}{2}Delta u + sigma(u)eta$, where $u=u(t,,x)$ for $tge0$ and $xinmathbb{R}^d$, $sigma:mathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$ is Lipschitz continuous and non random, and $eta$ is a centered Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space, with a possibly-signed homogeneous spatial correlation function $f$. If, in addition, $u(0)equiv1$, then we prove that, under a mild decay condition on $f$, the process $xmapsto u(t,,x)$ is stationary and ergodic at all times $t>0$. It has been argued that, when coupled with moment estimates, spatial ergodicity of $u$ teaches us about the intermittent nature of the solution to such SPDEs cite{BertiniCancrini1995,KhCBMS}. Our results provide rigorous justification of of such discussions. The proof rests on novel facts about functions of positive type, and on strong localization bounds for comparison of SPDEs.

Consider a parabolic stochastic PDE of the form $partial_t u=frac{1}{2}Delta u + sigma(u)eta$, where $u=u(t,,x)$ for $tge0$ and $xinmathbb{R}^d$, $sigma:mathbb{R}rightarrowmathbb{R}$ is Lipschitz continuous and non random, and $eta$ is a centered Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space, with a possibly-signed homogeneous spatial correlation $f$. If, in addition, $u(0)equiv1$, then we prove that, under a mild decay condition on $f$, the process $xmapsto u(t,,x)$ is stationary and ergodic at all times $t>0$. It has been argued that, when coupled with moment estimates, spatial ergodicity of $u$ teaches us about the intermittent nature of the solution to such SPDEs cite{BertiniCancrini1995,KhCBMS}. Our results provide rigorous justification of such discussions. Our methods hinge on novel facts from harmonic analysis and functions of positive type, as well as from Malliavin calculus and Poincare inequalities. We further showcase the utility of these Poincare inequalities by: (a) describing conditions that ensure that the random field $u(t)$ is mixing for every $t>0$; and by (b) giving a quick proof of a conjecture of Conus et al cite{CJK12} about the size of the intermittency islands of $u$. The ergodicity and the mixing results of this paper are sharp, as they include the classical theory of Maruyama cite{Maruyama} (see also Dym and McKean cite{DymMcKean}) in the simple setting where the nonlinear term $sigma$ is a constant function.
In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for $2m$-order stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type in a class of stochastic Hoelder spaces. The Hoelder estimates of solutions and their spatial derivatives up to order $2m$ are obtained, based on which the existence and uniqueness of solution is proved. An interesting finding of this paper is that the regularity of solutions relies on a coercivity condition that differs when $m$ is odd or even: the condition for odd $m$ coincides with the standard parabolicity condition in the literature for higher-order stochastic partial differential equations, while for even $m$ it depends on the integrability index $p$. The sharpness of the new-found coercivity condition is demonstrated by an example.
In this paper, a simplified second-order Gaussian Poincare inequality for normal approximation of functionals over infinitely many Rademacher random variables is derived. It is based on a new bound for the Kolmogorov distance between a general Rademacher functional and a Gaussian random variable, which is established by means of the discrete Malliavin-Stein method and is of independent interest. As an application, the number of vertices with prescribed degree and the subgraph counting statistic in the Erdos-Renyi random graph are discussed. The number of vertices of fixed degree is also studied for percolation on the Hamming hypercube. Moreover, the number of isolated faces in the Linial-Meshulam-Wallach random $kappa$-complex and infinite weighted 2-runs are treated.
Let ${u(t,,x)}_{tge 0, xin mathbb{R}^d}$ denote the solution of a $d$-dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation that is driven by a Gaussian noise, white in time with a homogeneous spatial covariance that is a finite Borel measure $f$ and satisfies Dalangs condition. We prove two general functional central limit theorems for occupation fields of the form $N^{-d} int_{mathbb{R}^d} g(u(t,,x)) psi(x/N), mathrm{d} x$ as $Nrightarrow infty$, where $g$ runs over the class of Lipschitz functions on $mathbb{R}^d$ and $psiin L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$. The proof uses Poincare-type inequalities, Malliavin calculus, compactness arguments, and Paul Levys classical characterization of Brownian motion as the only mean zero, continuous Levy process. Our result generalizes central limit theorems of Huang et al cite{HuangNualartViitasaari2018,HuangNualartViitasaariZheng2019} valid when $g(u)=u$ and $psi = mathbf{1}_{[0,1]^d}$.
We improve the constant $frac{pi}{2}$ in $L^1$-Poincare inequality on Hamming cube. For Gaussian space the sharp constant in $L^1$ inequality is known, and it is $sqrt{frac{pi}{2}}$. For Hamming cube the sharp constant is not known, and $sqrt{frac{pi}{2}}$ gives an estimate from below for this sharp constant. On the other hand, L. Ben Efraim and F. Lust-Piquard have shown an estimate from above: $C_1le frac{pi}{2}$. There are at least two other independent proofs of the same estimate from above (we write down them in this note). Since those proofs are very different from the proof of Ben Efraim and Lust-Piquard but gave the same constant, that might have indicated that constant is sharp. But here we give a better estimate from above, showing that $C_1$ is strictly smaller than $frac{pi}{2}$. It is still not clear whether $C_1> sqrt{frac{pi}{2}}$. We discuss this circle of questions and the computer experiments.
