State-law dynamics of McKean-Vlasov stochastic reaction-diffusion equations on $\mathbb R^n$: pullback random attractors and zero-noise stability

Source abstract

Distribution dependence generally prevents McKean-Vlasov state solution maps from satisfying a cocycle identity, while the relevant Sobolev embedding is noncompact on unbounded domains. For a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with a dissipative polynomial reaction, a one-sided monotone state-law coupling and finite-dimensional additive noise, we combine the deterministic law semiflow with the pathwise state evolution to construct a continuous random dynamical system on the product of the state space and its quadratic Wasserstein law space. An abstract product-space criterion, mixed-energy estimates, local regularity and uniform far-field estimates yield a unique pullback random attractor without global law contraction. Its law projection is the global attractor of the law semiflow, and its state fibers need not be singletons. Under an additional strict contraction condition, the law attractor reduces to the unique invariant law and the corresponding state fiber to a self-consistent random equilibrium. We also establish zero-noise upper semicontinuity and, in the contractive regime, quantitative convergence of the invariant laws and random equilibria with bounds linear in the noise amplitude.
