A stochastic thermalization of the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this talk, first, I give a very brief introduction to the NLS (Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation) and its long-time behavior. Then I introduce a mass-conserving stochastic perturbation of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation that models the action of a heat bath at a given temperature. Afterward, I sketch the fact that the corresponding canonical Gibbs distribution is the unique invariant measure. Finally, as an application, I discuss the one-dimensional cubic focusing case on the torus, where we prove that in the limit for large time, continuous approximation, and low temperature, the solution converges to the steady wave of the continuous equation that minimizes the energy for a given mass. This is based on the following joint work with prof. Stefano Olla (Universite Paris Dauphine-PSL, GSSI, IUF):

Except for a few of the oldest sessions these are from the Seminário de Probabilidade e Mecânica Estatística at IMPA which is co-sponsored by several institutions, in particular Instituto Superior Técnico.
