TL;DR
This work analyzes the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a one-dimensional stochastic pressure equation with diffusion given by Wick-exponentiated log-correlated fields. It develops parallel theories for non-Wick (pointwise) and Wick multiplications, providing explicit solution representations and convergence proofs via mollification, Gaussian multiplicative chaos, and S-transform techniques. The authors establish well-posedness across Dirichlet, Neumann, periodic boundary data, and initial value problems, and extend the framework by introducing projections onto GMC-based subspaces using the S-transform at a point of the field. Collectively, the results bridge renormalized and pathwise formulations, offering a robust, transform-based approach to singular stochastic boundary-value problems in 1D with log-correlated inputs.
Abstract
We study unique solvability for one dimensional stochastic pressure equation with diffusion coefficient given by the Wick exponential of log-correlated Gaussian fields. We prove well-posedness for Dirichlet, Neumann and periodic boundary data, and the initial value problem, covering the cases of both the Wick renormalization of the diffusion and of point-wise multiplication. We provide explicit representations for the solutions in both cases, characterized by the $S$-transform and the Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure.
