Abstract

We establish a weighted Wasserstein spectral gap for the three-dimensional damped cubic wave equation with genuinely finite rank Brownian forcing. Under a saturation condition, the gap holds with respect to the negative phase topology $\mathcal E_s=H^{-s}\times H^{-1-s}$ for every $0<s<1/2$, from which we deduce unique ergodicity and exponential mixing in the energy topology. Sharp geometric characterizations of the saturation condition are also obtained. The method we develop is a stable--compact asymptotic coupling mechanism for hypoelliptic dissipative SPDEs beyond the parabolic setting. Instead of relying on positive time smoothing or asymptotic gradient estimates, it reduces the infinite-dimensional obstruction to contraction to a compact defect in a weaker coupling topology. Dense Malliavin range then permits this defect to be compensated by a finite dimensional Cameron--Martin shift, producing a finite distance contraction on bounded Lyapunov cores. Together with a separate high energy contraction from dissipation, this yields a global weighted Wasserstein spectral gap.

Spectral gap for the stochastic primitive equations under degenerate Brownian forcing

We prove a weighted Wasserstein spectral gap for the three-dimensional primitive equations on $\mathscr E=\{u\in H^1\cap L^8: \partial_zu\in L^4\}$ under finite-rank additive Brownian forcing that is phase-complete finite Fourier and satisfies a quantitative quadratic saturation condition. In particular, four real forc...

Polynomial mixing for the 3D damped cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with degenerate noise

We prove polynomial mixing for the defocusing damped cubic stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the three-dimensional torus under saturating smooth finite rank Brownian forcing. The mixing rate is measured in the $p$-Wasserstein metric induced by the $H^1$ distance for every $1\le p<\infty$. We also obtain sh...

Polynomial mixing for the weakly damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the whole space

We consider the weakly damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation on the real line, driven by a noise that is white in time and smooth in space. Assuming that the noise is sufficiently non-degenerate, we prove that the equation has a unique stationary measure in the class of probability measures concentra...

Sharp spectral-scale stability for parabolic equations with measure-valued delay

We study the dependence of parabolic solution operators on a finite signed measure describing the delay law. For a positive self-adjoint generator with compact inverse, a weighted dyadic spectral sum characterizes the norm of the semigroup-integrated memory perturbation. An exact realization identity transfers the matc...

Renormalized Invariant Manifolds

Invariant manifold theory for partial differential equations (PDEs) is technically challenging as we often lack spectral gaps. Motivated by recent progress using renormalization in various areas of mathematics, we introduce a spectral renormalization method for semilinear parabolic equations that creates an artificial...

One-Dimensional Divergence-Type Jacobi Operators Driven by The Doubling Map

We study one-dimensional Jacobi operators of divergence-gradient type on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0})$, with coefficients generated by the doubling map, $a_n(x)=a(2^n x \mathrm{mod} 1)$. For continuous positive sampling functions, we show that the almost-sure essential spectrum is an interval containing the bottom of t...
