The cutoff phenomenon for the stochastic heat and the wave equation subject to small Levy noise

This article generalizes the small noise cutoff phenomenon to the strong solutions of the stochastic heat equation and the damped stochastic wave equation over a bounded domain subject to additive and multiplicative Wiener and Levy noises in the Wasserstein distance. For the additive noise case, we obtain analogous infinite dimensional results to the respective finite dimensional cases obtained recently by Barrera, Hogele and Pardo (JSP2021), that is, the (stronger) profile cutoff phenomenon for the stochastic heat equation and the (weaker) window cutoff phenomenon for the stochastic wave equation. For the multiplicative noise case, which is studied in this context for the first time, the stochastic heat equation also exhibits profile cutoff phenomenon, while for the stochastic wave equation the methods break down due to the lack of symmetry. The methods rely strongly on the explicit knowledge of the respective eigensystem of the stochastic heat and wave operator and the explicit representation of the stochastic solution flows in terms of stochastic exponentials.

On the Lamperti stable processes

We consider a new family of $R^d$-valued L{e}vy processes that we call Lamperti stable. One of the advantages of this class is that the law of many related functionals can be computed explicitely (see for instance cite{cc}, cite{ckp}, cite{kp} and cite{pp}). This family of processes shares many properties with the tempered stable and the layered stable processes, defined in Rosinski cite{ro} and Houdre and Kawai cite{hok} respectively, for instance their short and long time behaviour. Additionally, in the real valued case we find a series representation which is used for sample paths simulation. In this work we find general properties of this class and we also provide many examples, some of which appear in recent literature.
