Martin Hairer's theory of regularity structures provides a framework for studying a large class of subcritical parabolic stochastic partial differential equations arising from quantum field theory. The framework covers the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation , the Φ 3 4 equation and the parabolic Anderson model, all of which requires renormalization in order for it to be well-defined.

Definition

A regularity structure ( A , T , G ) consists of:

  • a subset A of R d that's bounded from below and that's without accumulation points;
  • the model space: a graded vector space T = α A T α , where each T α is a Banach space;
  • the structure group: a group G of continuous operators Γ such that, for each α A and each τ T α , we have ( Γ 1 ) τ β < α T β .
