This book is dedicated to the qualitative theory of the stochastic
one-dimensional Burgers equation with small viscosity under
periodic boundary conditions and to interpreting the obtained
results in terms of one-dimensional turbulence in a fictitious
one-dimensional fluid described by the Burgers equation. The
properties of one-dimensional turbulence which we rigorously derive
are then compared with the heuristic Kolmogorov theory of
hydrodynamical turbulence, known as the K41 theory. It is shown, in
particular, that these properties imply natural one-dimensional
analogues of three principal laws of the K41 theory: the size of
the Kolmogorov inner scale, the $2/3$-law, and the
Kolmogorov-Obukhov law. The first part of the book deals with the
stochastic Burgers equation, including the inviscid limit for the
equation, its asymptotic in time behavior, and a theory of
generalised $L_1$-solutions. This section makes a self-consistent
introduction to stochastic PDEs. The relative simplicity of the
model allows us to present in a light form many of the main ideas
from the general theory of this field. The second part, dedicated
to the relation of one-dimensional turbulence with the K41 theory,
could serve for a mathematical reader as a rigorous introduction to
the literature on hydrodynamical turbulence, all of which is
written on a physical level of rigor.
