Conjecture on the critical moment blowup threshold for the parabolic Anderson model

Let ξ\xi be a critical noise, meaning that its singularity parameter is ω=2\omega=2, and let t0(p)(0,)t_0(p)\in(0,\infty) be a moment blowup threshold such that

u(t,x)p<if t<t0(p),u(t,x)p=if t>t0(p).\langle u(t,x)^p\rangle<\infty\quad\text{if }t<t_0(p),\qquad \langle u(t,x)^p\rangle=\infty\quad\text{if }t>t_0(p).

Let κ\kappa be the model parameter and let G\mathcal G be the best constant

G:=inf{C>0:(Rd)2f(x)2γ(xy)f(y)2dxdyCRdf(x)22dxfH1(Rd) such that f2=1}.\mathcal G:=\inf\bigg\{C>0:\iint_{(\mathbb R^d)^2}f(x)^2\gamma(x-y)f(y)^2\,\mathrm d x\,\mathrm d y\leq C\int_{\mathbb R^d}|\nabla f(x)|_2^2\,\mathrm d x\quad\forall f\in H^1(\mathbb R^d)\text{ such that }\|f\|_2=1\bigg\}.

Critical moment blowup threshold conjecture. For all p>0p>0,

t0(p)=2κpG.t_0(p)=\frac{2\kappa}{p\mathcal G}.

This conjecture identifies the finite-time moment blowup threshold with the variational constant governing the critical asymptotics. A corresponding threshold is known or conjectured in related critical PAM settings, but the equality for all p>0p>0 in the Stratonovich setting remains open.
