Abstract:
We give an overview of some recent results on stochastic phase-field models with logarithmic potential, which cover in particular the well-celebrated Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation. The proposed techniques allow to treat both the conservative and the non-conservative cases, as well as degenerate and non-degenerate mobilities. Well-posedness, regularity, and long-time behaviour of solutions are discussed, with a mention of uniqueness-by-noise too. In the last part of the talk, related stochastic phase-field models will be presented, such as the conservative Allen-Cahn equation and coupled systems of Allen-Cahn-Navier-Stokes type. The works presented in the talk are based on joint collaborations with A.~Di Primio, Prof.~M.~Grasselli, and Dr.~M.~Zanella (Politecnico di Milano, Italy).
