A simple construction of the continuum parabolic Anderson model on $\mathbf{R}^2$

We propose a simple construction of the solution to the continuum parabolic Anderson model on $\mathbf{R}^2$ which does not rely on any elaborate arguments and makes extensive use of the linearity of the equation. A logarithmic renormalisation is required to counterbalance the divergent product appearing in the equation. Furthermore, we use time-dependent weights in our spaces of distributions in order to construct the solution on the unbounded space $\mathbf{R}^2$.
