We propose a new space-time variational formulation for wave equation initial-boundary value problems. The key property is that the formulation is coercive (sign-definite) and continuous in a norm stronger than $H^1(Q)$, $Q$ being the…
We study a nonlinear stochastic heat equation forced by a space-time white noise on closed surfaces, with nonlinearity $e^{\beta u}$. This equation corresponds to the stochastic quantization of the Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) measure.…

Given a suitable solution $V(t,x)$ to the Korteweg--de Vries equation on the real line, we prove global well-posedness for initial data $u(0,x) \in V(0,x) + H^{-1}(\mathbb{R})$. Our conditions on $V$ do include regularity but do not impose…
The Kadomtsev--Petviashvili I (KPI) is considered as a useful laboratory for experimenting new theoretical tools able to handle the specific features of integrable models in $2+1$ dimensions. The linearized version of the KPI equation is…
We consider an infinite interface in $d>2$ dimensions, governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation with a weak Gaussian noise which is delta-correlated in time and has short-range spatial correlations. We study the probability…
The one-point distribution of the height for the continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is determined numerically using the mapping to the directed polymer in a random potential at high temperature. Using an importance sampling…
We prove that the stochastic Burgers equation, which is related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang/KPZ equation via weak derivative, is a "critical" scaling limit for density fluctuations for a family of non-integrable and non-stationary…
