The curvature coefficient conjecture for the geometric stochastic heat equation

About 7 years old · traced to

In the setting of the invariant measure conjecture, let cc be the universal constant multiplying the scalar-curvature term in the geometric stochastic PDE

\dtu=\Nabla\dxu\dxu+((dA♭)(\dxu))♯−∇AA−12∇÷A+c∇R(u)+2σi(u) ξi.\d_t u=\Nabla_{\d_xu}\d_xu+\bigl((d A^\flat)(\d_x u)\bigr)^\sharp-\nabla_A A-{1\over 2}\nabla\div A+c\nabla R(u)+\sqrt 2\sigma_i(u)\,\xi_i.

Curvature coefficient conjecture. The universal constant is

c=18.c={1\over 8}.

Several values have appeared in path-integral and discretisation approaches, so the conjecture selects the value corresponding to the authors' normalisation; it remains unresolved in the supplied text.
