Periodic space-time homogenisation of the $\phi^4_2$ equation
We consider the homogenisation problem for the $\phi^4_2$ equation on the torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, namely the behaviour as $\varepsilon \to 0$ of the solutions to the equation \textit{suggestively} written as $$ \partial_t u_\varepsilon - \nabla\cdot {A}(x/\varepsilon,t/\varepsilon^2) \nabla u_\varepsilon = -u^3_\varepsilon +\xi $$ where $\xi$ denotes space-time white noise and $A: \mathbb{T}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ is uniformly elliptic, periodic and H\"older continuous. When the noise is regularised at scale $\delta \ll 1$ we show that any joint limit $\varepsilon,\delta \to 0$ recovers the classical dynamical $\phi^4_2$ model. In certain regimes or if the regularisation is chosen in a specific way adapted to the problem, we show that the counterterms can be chosen as explicit local functions of $A$.
