Abstract

Given a field {B(x)}xZd\{B(x)\}_{x\in\mathbf{Z}^d} of independent standard Brownian motions, indexed by Zd\mathbf{Z}^d, the generator of a suitable Markov process on Zd,G,\mathbf{Z}^d,\,\,\mathcal{G}, and sufficiently nice function σ:[0,)[0,),\sigma:[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty), we consider the influence of the parameter λ\lambda on the behavior of the system, \begin{align*} \rm{d} u_t(x) = & (\mathcal{G}u_t)(x)\,\rm{d} t + \lambda\sigma(u_t(x))\rm{d} B_t(x) \qquad[t>0,\ x\in\mathbf{Z}^d], &u_0(x)=c_0\delta_0(x). \end{align*} We show that for any λ>0\lambda>0 in dimensions one and two the total mass xZdut(x)0\sum_{x\in\mathbf{Z}^d}u_t(x)\to 0 as tt\to\infty while for dimensions greater than two there is a phase transition point λc(0,)\lambda_c\in(0,\infty) such that for λ>λc,Zdut(x)0\lambda>\lambda_c,\, \sum_{\mathbf{Z}^d}u_t(x)\to 0 as tt\to\infty while for λ<λc,Zdut(x)↛0\lambda<\lambda_c,\,\sum_{\mathbf{Z}^d}u_t(x)\not\to 0 as t.t\to\infty.
