Abstract

Let X=(Xt,t0)X=(X_t, t\geq 0) be a superprocess in a random environment described by a Gaussian noise Wg={Wg(t,x),t0,xRd}W^g=\{W^g(t,x), t\geq 0, x\in \mathbb{R}^d\} white in time and colored in space with correlation kernel g(x,y)g(x,y). We show that when d=1d=1, XtX_t admits a jointly continuous density function Xt(x)X_t(x) that is a unique in law solution to a stochastic partial differential equation \begin{align*} \frac{\partial }{\partial t}X_t(x)=\frac{\Delta}{2} X_t(x)+\sqrt{X_t(x)} \dot{V}(t,x)+X_t(x)\dot{W}^g(t, x) , \quad X_t(x)\geq 0, \end{align*} where V={V(t,x),t0,xR}V=\{V(t,x), t\geq 0, x\in \mathbb{R}\} is a space-time white noise and is orthogonal with WgW^g. When d2d\geq 2, we prove that XtX_t is singular and hence density does not exist.
