Renormalization of singular elliptic stochastic PDEs using flow equation
Paweł Duch
TL;DR
The paper develops a flow-equation–based renormalization framework for singular elliptic SPDEs with a fractional Laplacian, additive white noise, and a cubic nonlinearity in the subcritical regime. By introducing an effective force $F_{\kappa,\mu}$ and recursively defined force coefficients $F^{i,m}_{\kappa,\mu}$ (and generalized $F^{i,m,a}_{\kappa,\mu}$), it combines deterministic bounds with probabilistic cumulant estimates to control near-critical behavior and construct solutions via $\varPhi_\kappa = G_\kappa * F_{\kappa,1}[0]$, proving convergence as $\kappa \to 0$ in Besov spaces. A key innovation is the systematic use of Wilsonian RG flow equations, regularizing kernels, and a Taylor-analytic framework to manage both UV and long-range contributions, yielding finite sets of relevant coefficients and uniform cumulant bounds. The results establish existence, uniqueness up to renormalization, and almost-sure convergence, providing a robust renormalization scheme for nonlocal singular SPDEs beyond previous regularity-structure approaches.
Abstract
We develop a solution theory for singular elliptic stochastic PDEs with fractional Laplacian, additive white noise and cubic non-linearity. The method covers the whole sub-critical regime. It is based on the Wilsonian renormalization group theory and the Polchinski flow equation.
