Title: Sensitivity to Small Delays of Pathwise Stability for Stochastic Retarded Evolution Equations
Abstract: 
In this talk, we shall study the pathwise exponential stability property for a class of stochastic functional evolution equations with delays, possibly, in the highest-order derivatives driven by multiplicative noise.  Different from the usual methods that one may first consider the moment exponential stability and then proceed to investigate, based on the established moment stability, the pathwise exponential stability of the systems, we develop a direct approach to attack this problem. As a consequence, we can show that some systems, which are not exponential momently stable, have the exponential stablility not sensitive to small delays in the almost sure sense.
