We study the detailed behavior of the approximate spatial gradient $u_t(x)-u_t(x-\\varepsilon)$ at fixed times $t>0$, as $\\varepsilon\\downarrow0$. We discuss a few applications of this work to the study of the sample functions of the solution to the KPZ equation as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-06-20T00:35:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H15", "60G17", "60H10", "47B80" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic heat equation", "fractional brownian motion", "stochastic partial differential equation", "denotes space-time white noise", "approximate spatial gradient" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1406.5246F" } } }
