Abstract:
We use semi--linear PDEs as a ``proof of concept`` to investigate the effect of random initial conditions for the existence of partial differential equations of evolution type. These ideas have been pioneered by Bourgain, and recently there have been a lot of activity, since the seminal papers by Burq and Tzvetkov. In this setting we wish to be able to answer a series of relevant questions for the subject, such as if and when a random initial condition turns out to be useful, if super--critical data are allowed, if renormalization is needed, if further ideas from the theory of singular stochastic PDEs can be borrowed, etc.
