Zero-distribution conjecture for the regularized two-dimensional stochastic Allen–Cahn equation

Let uNu_N be the regularizations of the two-dimensional stochastic Allen–Cahn equation, and let ,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle denote the L2L^2-duality pairing. For every t>0t>0 and every smooth test function ϕ\phi, the zero-distribution conjecture.

limNuN(t),ϕ=0\lim_{N\to\infty}\left\langle u_N(t),\phi\right\rangle=0

in probability. This conjecture makes precise the observed loss of macroscopic structure in the regularized fields: their distributional limit is expected to be zero, even though their pointwise or L2L^2 behavior becomes increasingly oscillatory. The source gives heuristic and numerical support but no proof or resolution.
