Let $xi$ denote space-time white noise, and consider the following stochastic partial differential equations: (i) $dot{u}=frac{1}{2} u + uxi$, started identically at one; and (ii) $dot{Z}=frac12 Z + xi$, started identically at zero. It is well known that the solution to (i) is intermittent, whereas the solution to (ii) is not. And the two equations are known to be in different universality classes. We prove that the tall peaks of both systems are multifractals in a natural large-scale sense. Some of this work is extended to also establish the multifractal behavior of the peaks of stochastic PDEs on $mathbf{R}_+timesmathbf{R}^d$ with $dge 2$. G. Lawler has asked us if intermittency is the same as multifractality. The present work gives a negative answer to this question. As a byproduct of our methods, we prove also that the peaks of the Brownian motion form a large-scale monofractal, whereas the peaks of the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process on $mathbf{R}$ are multifractal. Throughout, we make extensive use of the macroscopic fractal theory of M.T. Barlow and S. J. Taylor (1989, 1992). We expand on aspects of the Barlow-Taylor theory, as well.

It is generally argued that the solution to a stochastic PDE with multiplicative noise---such as $dot{u}=frac12 u+uxi$, where $xi$ denotes space-time white noise---routinely produces exceptionally-large peaks that are macroscopically multifractal. Se e, for example, Gibbon and Doering (2005), Gibbon and Titi (2005), and Zimmermann et al (2000). A few years ago, we proved that the spatial peaks of the solution to the mentioned stochastic PDE indeed form a random multifractal in the macroscopic sense of Barlow and Taylor (1989; 1992). The main result of the present paper is a proof of a rigorous formulation of the assertion that the spatio-temporal peaks of the solution form infinitely-many different multifractals on infinitely-many different scales, which we sometimes refer to as stretch factors. A simpler, though still complex, such structure is shown to also exist for the constant-coefficient version of the said stochastic PDE.
We consider a non-linear stochastic wave equation driven by space-time white noise in dimension 1. First of all, we state some results about the intermittency of the solution, which have only been carefully studied in some particular cases so far. Th en, we establish a comparison principle for the solution, following the ideas of Mueller. We think it is of particular interest to obtain such a result for a hyperbolic equation. Finally, using the results mentioned above, we aim to show that the solution exhibits a chaotic behavior, in a similar way as was established by Conus, Joseph, and Khoshnevisan for the heat equation. We study the two cases where 1. the initial conditions have compact support, where the global maximum of the solution remains bounded and 2. the initial conditions are bounded away from 0, where the global maximum is almost surely infinite. Interesting estimates are also provided on the behavior of the global maximum of the solution.
We study a class of linear-quadratic stochastic differential games in which each player interacts directly only with its nearest neighbors in a given graph. We find a semi-explicit Markovian equilibrium for any transitive graph, in terms of the empir ical eigenvalue distribution of the graphs normalized Laplacian matrix. This facilitates large-population asymptotics for various graph sequences, with several sparse and dense examples discussed in detail. In particular, the mean field game is the correct limit only in the dense graph case, i.e., when the degrees diverge in a suitable sense. Even though equilibrium strategies are nonlocal, depending on the behavior of all players, we use a correlation decay estimate to prove a propagation of chaos result in both the dense and sparse regimes, with the sparse case owing to the large distances between typical vertices. Without assuming the graphs are transitive, we show also that the mean field game solution can be used to construct decentralized approximate equilibria on any sufficiently dense graph sequence.

In this paper we prove necessary conditions for optimality of a stochastic control problem for a class of stochastic partial differential equations that is controlled through the boundary. This kind of problems can be interpreted as a stochastic cont rol problem for an evolution system in an Hilbert space. The regularity of the solution of the adjoint equation, that is a backward stochastic equation in infinite dimension, plays a crucial role in the formulation of the maximum principle.
We show that the Markov semigroups generated by a large class of singular stochastic PDEs satisfy the strong Feller property. These include for example the KPZ equation and the dynamical $Phi^4_3$ model. As a corollary, we prove that the Brownian bri dge measure is the unique invariant measure for the KPZ equation with periodic boundary conditions.
