Martingale solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation in two dimensions

We construct solutions to the stochastic thin-film equation with quadratic mobility and Stratonovich gradient noise in the physically relevant dimension $d=2$ and allow in particular for solutions with non-full support. The construction relies on a Trotter-Kato time-splitting scheme, which was recently employed in $d=1$. The additional analytical challenges due to the higher spatial dimension are overcome using $\alpha$-entropy estimates and corresponding tightness arguments.
