The Parabolic Anderson Model

This is a comprehensive survey on the research on the parabolic Anderson model - the heat equation with random potential or the random walk in random potential - of the years 1990 - 2015. The investigation of this model requires a combination of tools from probability (large deviations, extreme-value theory, e.g.) and analysis (spectral theory for the Laplace operator with potential, variational analysis, e.g.). We explain the background, the applications, the questions and the connections with ...
