Solitons and Gibbs measures for nonlinear Schroedinger equations
arXiv:1109.0274
Abstract
We review some recent results concerning Gibbs measures for nonlinear Schroedinger equations (NLS), with implications for the theory of the NLS, including stability and typicality of solitary wave structures. In particular, we discuss the Gibbs measures of the discrete NLS in three dimensions, where there is a striking phase transition to soliton-like behavior.
