Transportation inequalities under uniform metric for a stochastic heat equation driven by time-white and space-colored noise

Abstract

In this paper, we prove transportation inequalities on the space of continuous paths with respect to the uniform metric, for the law of solution to a stochastic heat equation defined on $[0,T]\times [0,1]^d$. This equation is driven by the Gaussian noise, white in time and colored in space. The proof is based on a new moment inequality under the uniform metric for the stochastic convolution with respect to the time-white and space-colored noise, which is of independent interest.
