Corrections to: Extending the martingale measure stochastic integral with applications to spatially homogeneous S.P.D.E. 's

We extend the definition of Walsh's martingale measure stochastic integral so as to be able to solve stochastic partial differential equations whose Green's function is not a function but a Schwartz distribution. This is the case for the wave equation in dimensions greater than two. Even when the integrand is a distribution, the value of our stochastic integral process is a real-valued martingale. We use this extended integral to recover necessary and sufficient conditions under which the linear wave equation driven by spatially homogeneous Gaussian noise has a process solution, and this in any spatial dimension. Under this condition, the non-linear three dimensional wave equation has a global solution. The same methods apply to the damped wave equation, to the heat equation and to various parabolic equations.
