High moments of the SHE in the clustering regimes

Abstract

We analyze the high moments of the Stochastic Heat Equation (SHE) via a transformation to the attractive Brownian Particles (BPs), which are Brownian motions interacting via pairwise attractive drift. In those scaling regimes where the particles tend to cluster, we prove a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the empirical measure of the attractive BPs. Under what we call the 1-to-$n$ initial-terminal condition, we characterize the unique minimizer of the rate function and relate the minimizer to the spacetime limit shapes of the Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation in the upper tails. The results of this paper are used in the companion paper Lin and Tsai (2023) to prove an $n$-point, upper-tail LDP for the KPZ equation and to characterize the corresponding spacetime limit shape.
