Abstract

For the fractional heat equation tu(t,x)=(Δ)α2u(t,x)+u(t,x)W˙(t,x)\frac{\partial}{\partial t} u(t,x) = -(-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}u(t,x)+ u(t,x)\dot W(t,x) where the covariance function of the Gaussian noise W˙\dot W is defined by the heat kernel, we establish Feynman-Kac formulae for both Stratonovich and Skorohod solutions, along with their respective moments. In particular, we prove that d<2+αd<2+\alpha is a sufficient and necessary condition for the equation to have a unique square-integrable mild Skorohod solution. One motivation lies in the occurrence of this equation in the study of a random walk in random environment which is generated by a field of independent random walks starting from a Poisson field.
