Please let me know if you are aware of partial or complete resolutions of these.

  • Connection between SDE and PDE. The Feynman-Kac formula links Brownian processes to heat equation. Can this link be extended to other PDEs? For example, does there exists a random process whose expectation solves the linear Korteweg-de Vries equation? Personal guess: look for a process with non-zero cubic variation.
  • Spectral measure for differential operator with non-constant coefficients. Heteroclinic waves are associated to a two dimensional continuous spectrum. Can a spectral measure be associated to it? Explicit computation is known for constant coefficients using Fourier transform.
