Unbounded rough drivers, rough PDEs and applications

TL;DR
This paper surveys the unbounded rough driver (URD) framework for rough PDEs driven by linear rough input and presents a variational approach that yields well-posedness and energy-type estimates for parabolic RPDEs with transport noise. It develops concrete operator-valued URDs, including differential and bounded-operator cases, and analyzes geometric versus weak-geometric enhancements and their implications (e.g., Lévy areas). The survey then applies these methods to nonlinear parabolic RPDEs, nonlocal transport models, and key fluid models—stochastic Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert, Navier–Stokes, and Euler equations—obtaining pathwise solutions, energy inequalities, uniqueness in certain regimes, large deviation principles, and random dynamical-system properties. The results demonstrate the versatility of URD-based variational methods in handling rough transports, preserving structural features (like incompressibility and vorticity conservation), and enabling robust well-posedness theories with implications for stochastic fluid dynamics and micromagnetism.
Abstract
A summary of recent contributions in the field of rough partial differential equations is given. For that purpose we rely on the formalism of ``unbounded rough driver''. We present applications to concrete models including Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert, Navier-Stokes and Euler equations.
