We prove the existence and uniqueness, for any time, of a real-valued proce
ss solving a nonlinear stochastic wave equation driven by a Gaussian noise
white in time and correlated in the two-dimensional space variable. We prov
e that the solution is regular in the sense of the Malliavin calculus. We a
lso give a decay condition on the covariance function of the noise under wh
ich the solution has Holder continuous trajectories and show that, under an
additional ellipticity assumption, the law of the solution at any strictly
positive time has a smooth density.
