The object of the talk is the following stochastic PDE $\partial_t u = \Delta u + \xi \cdot u$ in $[0,\infty)×\mathbb R^d$. $\Delta$ denotes the usual Laplacian in $\mathbb R^d$ and $\xi$ is a space-time white noise. The equation above has been extensively studied in the case where $\xi$ is a Gaussian White noise. In that case, the equation is well defined only when $d=1$. In that case, a probability measure on space time trajectory associated to the solutions of the equation has been introduced as the continuum directed polymer model.

In our talk, we consider the case where $\xi$ is a Lévy white noise with no diffusive part. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions on $\xi$ for the existence of solution to the equation, and discuss its intermittency properties, which are intimately related to the localization properties of the associated continuum polymer.
