TL;DR

This paper advances paracontrolled calculus by developing a higher-order framework using semigroup methods to rigorously analyze the 3D parabolic Anderson model and multiplicative Burgers equations on Riemannian manifolds. It introduces intertwined space-time paraproducts and controlled commutators, enabling well-posedness in bounded and unbounded domains via improved regularity and continuity properties.

ABSTRACT

We sharpen in this work the tools of paracontrolled calculus in order to provide a complete analysis of the parabolic Anderson model equation and Burgers system with multiplicative noise, in a 3-dimensional Riemannian setting, in either bounded or unbounded domains. We develop for that purpose a higher order paracontrolled calculus via semigroups methods. The technical core of this machinery is the introduction of a pair of intertwined space-time paraproducts on parabolic Holder spaces, with good continuity properties, as well as some continuity properties of iterated commutators and correctors built from paraproducts and resonant operators.

Motivation & Objective

• Address the lack of robust analytical tools for singular stochastic PDEs in three spatial dimensions with multiplicative noise.
• Extend paracontrolled calculus to higher orders to handle the nonlinear and irregular structures in the parabolic Anderson model and Burgers system.
• Establish well-posedness of the 3D parabolic Anderson model and multiplicative Burgers equations on general Riemannian manifolds, including bounded and unbounded domains.
• Develop a new class of paraproducts and resonant operators with strong continuity and regularity properties in parabolic Hölder spaces.
• Provide a systematic framework for handling iterated commutators and correctors essential for renormalization and solution construction.

Proposed method

• Construct a pair of intertwined space-time paraproducts on parabolic Hölder spaces to decompose nonlinear terms in the equations.
• Utilize semigroup methods to define and analyze the higher-order paracontrolled calculus framework, ensuring compatibility with the parabolic structure.
• Introduce and analyze correctors and iterated commutators built from paraproducts and resonant operators to control singularities.
• Establish continuity estimates for the paraproducts and their associated operators in parabolic Hölder norms, ensuring stability of the solution scheme.
• Apply the framework to the 3D parabolic Anderson model and multiplicative Burgers equations, proving existence and uniqueness under the constructed calculus.
• Ensure the method applies uniformly to both bounded and unbounded domains by leveraging intrinsic geometric and analytic properties of the Riemannian setting.
