# Abstract:
We consider a nonlinear stochastic heat heat equation $\partial_t u = \frac12 \partial_{xx} u + \sigma(u)\partial_{xt}W$, where $\partial_{xt}W$ denotes space-time white noise and $\sigma:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is Lipschitz continuous. We establish that, at every fixed time $t>0$, the global behavior of the solution depends in a critical manner on the structure of the initial function $u_0$. Under suitable technical conditions on $u_0$ and $\sigma$, $\sup_{|x|\le R}u_t(x)$ remains bounded in $R$ when $u_0$ has compact support, whereas with probability one, $\sup_{|x|\le R}u_t(x)\ge\text{const}\cdot (\log R)^{1/6}$ as $R\to\infty$ when $u_0$ is bounded uniformly away from zero. The mentioned sensitivity to the initial data of the stochastic heat equation is a way to state that the solution to the stochastic heat equation is chaotic at fixed times, well before the onset of intermittency.
This is a joint work with Davar Khoshnevisan and Mathew Joseph, University of Utah.
