Audit review

The paper proves an exponential-in-κ^2/ε^2 concentration bound for the transverse fluctuation vt := ut − T_{βt}u* under a variational phase constraint on SE(2), via time-window freezing, semigroup decay on the stable subspace, quadratic Taylor remainders, and exponential martingale bounds; see Theorem 4.3 with the choice Δt = (log(4C))/b and a union bound across windows . The candidate solution reproduces this structure: the same SE(2)-modulation, the same window-length ensuring a 1/4 contraction on the stable subspace, the same control of nonlinear remainders (H2-algebra/Nemytskii), and an exponentially small tail for the stochastic convolution. Differences are present only in technical packaging (e.g., invoking Pinelis-type martingale tails instead of Brzeźniak–Peszat/Chernoff bounds), but the logic and estimates align with the paper’s proof.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The work rigorously extends travelling-wave SPDE techniques to rotating waves with SE(2) symmetry, addressing non-commutativity and providing exponential transverse stability bounds. The argument is technically sound and well-situated within semigroup and stochastic analysis. Minor issues (assumption numbering, a time-step typo, and a small notational slip in the approximated phase) can be repaired easily.
