Weak universality for a class of 3d stochastic reaction–diffusion models

Abstract

We establish the large scale convergence of a class of stochastic weakly nonlinear reaction-diffusion models on a three dimensional periodic domain to the dynamic Phi^3_4 model within the framework of paracontrolled distributions. Our work extends previous results of Hairer and Xu to nonlinearities with a finite amount of smoothness (in particular C^9 is enough). We use the Malliavin calculus to perform a partial chaos expansion of the stochastic terms and control their L^p norms in terms of the graphs of the standard Phi^3_4 stochastic terms.
