| Popis: | We build a regular version of the field $Z_{\beta}(t,x|s,y)$ which describes the Green's function, or fundamental solution, of the parabolic Anderson model (PAM) with white noise forcing on $\mathbb{R}^{1+1}$: $\partial_t Z_{\beta}(t,x | s,y) =$ $\frac{1}{2}\partial_{xx} Z_{\beta}(t,x|s,y) + \beta Z_{\beta}(t,x | s,y)W(t,x)$, $Z_{\beta}(s,x | s,y) = \delta(x-y)$ for all $-\infty < s \leq t < \infty$, all $x,y \in \mathbb{R}$, and all $\beta \in \mathbb{R}$ simultaneously. Through the superposition principle, our construction gives a pointwise coupling of all solutions to the PAM with initial or terminal conditions satisfying sharp growth assumptions, for all initial and terminal times. Using this coupling, we show that the PAM with a (sub-)exponentially growing initial condition admits conserved quantities given by the limits $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \pm\infty} x^{-1}\log Z_{\beta}(t,x)$, in addition to proving many new basic properties of solutions to the PAM with general initial conditions. These properties are then connected to the existence, regularity, and continuity of the quenched continuum polymer measures. Through the polymer connection, we also show that the kernel $(x,y) \mapsto Z_{\beta}(t,x | s,y)$ is strictly totally positive for all $t>s$ and $\beta\in \mathbb{R}$. Comment: Some presentation improvements over the previous version and a few slightly strengthened results. 71 pages, 3 figures |
