Abstract
We consider the solution \(u: [0,\infty ) \times{\mathbb{Z}}^{d} \rightarrow[0,\infty )\) to the parabolic Anderson model, where the potential is given by \((t,x)\mapsto \gamma {\delta }_{{Y }_{t}}\left (x\right )\) with Y a simple symmetric random walk on \({\mathbb{Z}}^{d}\). Depending on the parameter γ∈[−∞,∞), the potential is interpreted as a randomly moving catalyst or trap.
In the trap case, i.e., γ<0, we look at the annealed time asymptotics in terms of the first moment of u. Given a localized initial condition, we derive the asymptotic rate of decay to zero in dimensions 1 and 2 up to equivalence and characterize the limit in dimensions 3 and higher in terms of the Green’s function of a random walk. For a homogeneous initial condition, we give a characterisation of the limit in dimension 1 and show that the moments remain constant for all time in dimensions 2 and higher.
In the case of a moving catalyst (γ>0), we consider the solution u from the perspective of the catalyst, i.e., the expression u(t,Y
t
+x). Focusing on the cases where moments grow exponentially fast (that is, γ sufficiently large), we describe the moment asymptotics of the expression above up to equivalence. Here, it is crucial to prove the existence of a principal eigenfunction of the corresponding Hamilton operator. While this is well-established for the first moment, we have found an extension to higher moments.
