This paper is concerned to the stochastic heat and wave equations $\begin{cases} {\partial u\over\partial t} (t,\theta)=\Delta u(t,\theta)+ {\partial W\over\partial t} (t,\theta), &t> 0,\;\theta\in \mathbb{R}^d,\\ u(0,\theta)= 0,\quad\theta\in \mathbb{R}^d,\end{cases}$ and $\begin{cases}{\partial^2u\over\partial t^2} (t,\theta)=\Delta u(t,\theta)+ {\partial W_\Gamma\over\partial t} (t,\theta), &t> 0,\;\theta\in \mathbb{R}^d,\\ u(0,\theta)= 0,\quad{\partial u\over\partial t} (0,\theta)= 0,\quad \theta\in \mathbb{R}^d,\end{cases}$ where $$W_\Gamma$$ is a spatially homogeneous Wiener process with space correlation $$\Gamma$$. The problem has been investigated for the stochastic wave equation by R. C. Dalang and N. E. Frangos [Ann. Probab. 26, No. 1, 187-212 (1998; Zbl 0938.60046)] and also by C. Mueller [ibid. 25, No. 1, 133-151 (1997; Zbl 0884.60054)] when $$d=2$$.
In this note the authors treat the general case of arbitrary dimension $$d$$ and of arbitrary spatially homogeneous noise for both the stochastic heat and wave equations. Section 2 entitled preliminaries contains heat and wave semigroups, spatially homogeneous Wiener process and questions. Section 3 treates proofs of the results for the case of $$\mathbb{R}^d$$. Applications are discussed in Section 4. Extensions to the $$d$$-dimensional torus are contained in Section 5. Section 6 contains two conjectures and some partial answers. For other details see the authors comprehensive references.
