Abstract

This paper introduces a novel stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by space-only fractional Lévy noise ${\dot{L}_{x}^{d}}$ with $d\in (0,1/2)$, governed by a second-order elliptic operator with piecewise constant coefficients. We establish a new framework for analyzing diffusion in heterogeneous media, proving the existence, uniqueness, and equivalence of mild and weak solutions for the resulting non-Gaussian random field. A key original contribution is the explicit characterization of the covariance kernel in terms of transmission-reflection paths induced by the interface. We provide sharp estimates for the sample path regularity, proving that the solution is almost surely Hölder continuous of order $\gamma \lt d$ in space and $\beta \lt \frac{2d+1}{4}$ in time. Our results demonstrate that the fractional order of the noise robustly dictates path regularity, which remains preserved despite the singular transmission conditions and the jump structure of the driving noise.
