Session 34. SPDE: stochastic analysis and dynamics

Energy transport in an infinite chain of harmonic oscillators with a degenerate noise

Tomasz Komorowski, IMPAN, Warsaw, Poland
We consider a one dimensional infinite chain of harmonic oscillators whose dynamics is perturbed by a stochastic term conserving energy and momentum. We prove that in the unpinned case the macroscopic evolution of the energy converges to a fractional diffusion governed by \(-|\Delta|^{3/4}\). For a pinned system we prove that energy evolves diffusively, generalizing some of the earlier results contained in [1]. This is a joint work with S. Olla (CEREMADE, Univ. Paris-Dauphine) and M. Jara (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro).
