Abstract

In this paper, we study the {\it parabolic Anderson model} starting from the Dirac delta initial data: (tν22x2)u(t,x)=λu(t,x)W˙(t,x),u(0,x)=δ0(x),xR, \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial t} -\frac{\nu}{2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} \right) u(t,x) = \lambda u(t,x) \dot{W}(t,x), \qquad u(0,x)=\delta_0(x), \quad x\in\mathbb{R}, where W˙\dot{W} denotes the space-time white noise. By evaluating the threefold contour integral in the third moment formula by Borodin and Corwin [2], we obtain some explicit formulas for E[u(t,x)3]\mathbb{E}[u(t,x)^3]. One application of these formulas is given to show the exact phase transition for the intermittency front of order three.
