We show the existence and uniqueness of a function-valued process solution
to the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation driven by space-time white noise w
ith a nonlinear diffusion coefficient. Then we show that the solution is lo
cally differentiable in the sense of the Malliavin calculus, and, under som
e non-degeneracy condition on the diffusion coefficient, that the law of th
e solution is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.
