Feynman-Kac formula for the heat equation driven by time-homogeneous white noise potential

Abstract

We present a Feynman-Kac formula for the 11-dimensional stochastic heat equation (SHE) driven by a time-homogeneous Gaussian white noise potential, where the noise is interpreted in the Wick-It\^o-Skorokhod sense. Our approach consists in constructing a Wong-Zakai-type approximation for the SHE from which we are able to obtain an "approximating Feynman-Kac" representation via the reduction of the approximated SHE to a deterministic partial differential equation (PDE). Then we will show that those "approximating Feynman-Kac" converge to a well defined object we will call "formal Feynman-Kac" representation which happens to coincide with the unique solution of SHE.
