Solitons and gibbs measures for nonlinear schrödinger equations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We review some recent results concerning Gibbs measures for nonlinear Schrödinger 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.
