On the intermittency front of stochastic heat equation driven by colored noises

Abstract

We study the propagation of high peaks (intermittency fronts) of the solution to a stochastic heat equation driven by multiplicative centered Gaussian noise in RdRd. The noise is assumed to have a general homogeneous covariance in both time and space, and the solution is interpreted in the senses of the Wick product. We give some estimates for the upper and lower bounds of the propagation speed, based on a moment formula of the solution. When the space covariance is given by a Riesz kernel, we give more precise bounds for the propagation speed.
