Logarithmic corrections in the asymptotic expansion for the radiation field along null infinity

We obtain the second-order late-time asymptotics for the radiation field of solutions to the wave equation on spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat backgrounds including the Schwarzschild and sub-extremal Reissner–Nordström families of black hole spacetimes. These terms appear as logarithmic corrections to the leading-order asymptotic terms which were rigorously derived in our previous work. Such corrections have been heuristically and numerically derived in the physics literature in the case of a non-vanishing Newman–Penrose constant. In this case, our results provide a rigorous confirmation of the existence of these corrections. On the other hand, the precise logarithmic corrections for spherically symmetric compactly supported initial data (and hence, with a vanishing Newman–Penrose constant) explicitly obtained here appear to be new.

Properties of the Parabolic Anderson Model and the Anderson Polymer Model

In this article we examine some properties of the solutions of the parabolic Anderson model. In particular we discuss intermittency of the field of solutions of this random partial differential equation, when it occurs and what the field looks like when intermittency doesn't hold. We also explore the behavior of a polymer model created by a Gibbs measure based on solutions to the parabolic Anderson equation.
