Abstract

Let \u(t ,x)\_{t≥ 0, x∈ ℝ^d} denote the solution of a d-dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation that is driven by a Gaussian noise, white in time with a homogeneous spatial covariance that is a finite Borel measure f and satisfies Dalang's condition. We prove two general functional central limit theorems for occupation fields of the form N^-d ∫_ℝ^d g(u(t ,x)) ψ(x/N) d x as N→ ∞, where g runs over the class of Lipschitz functions on ℝ^d and ψ∈ L²(ℝ^d). The proof uses Poincaré-type inequalities, Malliavin calculus, compactness arguments, and Paul Lévy's classical characterization of Brownian motion as the only mean zero, continuous Lévy process. Our result generalizes central limit theorems of Huang et al \citeHuangNualartViitasaari2018,HuangNualartViitasaariZheng2019 valid when g(u)=u and ψ= 1_[0,1]^d.
