A remark on pathwise well-posedness of the 1- d stochastic heat equation

We study pathwise well-posedness of the stochastic heat equation (SHE) with a multiplicative noise on the circle. By combining the convolution Young and rough integration theory, introduced by Gubinelli and Tindel (2010), with the random tensor estimate approach to pathwise well-posedness of stochastic dispersive PDEs with multiplicative noises, introduced by Chapouto and the second and third authors (2026), we establish pathwise well-posedness of SHE in both the Young and rough cases, improving the results in Gubinelli and Tindel (2010). In particular, in the rough case (= the white-in-time case), our result covers the case of almost space-time white noise, thus establishing an optimal result within the framework of one-parameter rough paths.
