Abstract

In this paper we develop an existence theory for the Cauchy problem to the stochastic Hunter-Saxton equatio, and prove several properties of the blow-up of its solutions. An important part of the paper is the continuation of solutions to the stochastic equations beyond blow-up (wave-breaking). In the linear noise case, using the method of (stochastic) characteristics, we also study random wave-breaking and stochastic effects unobserved in the deterministic problem. Notably, we derive an explicit law for the random wave-breaking time.
