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 the solution of the fractional diffusion equation ∂t u = −||3/4u. For a pinned system we prove that its energy evolves diffusively, generalizing some results of Basile and Olla (J. Stat. Phys. 155(6):1126–1142, 2014).

Abstract

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 the solution of the fractional diffusion equation ∂t u = −||3/4u. For a pinned system we prove that its energy evolves diffusively, generalizing some results of Basile and Olla (J. Stat. Phys. 155(6):1126–1142, 2014).
