Gaussian fluctuations for the stochastic wave equation with drift
Abstract
In this article, we study the spatial fluctuations of the solution to the stochastic wave equation with a nonlinear drift and multiplicative Gaussian noise in dimensions one and two. The noise is white in time, and its spatial covariance is either integrable or given by a Riesz kernel; space-time white noise in dimension one is also included. We establish spatial ergodicity, convergence of the rescaled covariance, and prove a quantitative central limit theorem for the spatial fluctuations. We also obtain the corresponding functional central limit theorem. Our approach exploits the compact support of the wave kernel to obtain an estimate for the spatially integrated second Malliavin derivative which is compatible with a bound for the total variation. Further arguments based on the Clark-Ocone formula are used to control the drift contributions.
