Solutions of SPDE as zeros of maps on scaled path spaces

In the talk this result will be reviewed and connected to current developments about the case where the underlying SPDE is a gradient flow, perturbed by linear multiplicative noise. In this case it follows from the above result and by applying methods from the calculus of variations that the solution minimizes a certain explicit convex functional on the path space. Applications include stochastic porous media equations, stochastic nonlinear parabolic equations (as e.g. the stochastic Cauchy problem for the p-Laplacian)and in the non-gradient case also stochastic nonlinear transport equations.Add to calendar:
