Prethermalization and conservation laws in quasi-periodically driven quantum systems

M Gallone, B Langella - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2024 - Springer
We study conservation laws of a general class of quantum many-body systems subjected to
an external time dependent quasi-periodic driving. When the frequency of the driving is …

Birkhoff coordinates for the Toda lattice in the limit of infinitely many particles with an application to FPU

D Bambusi, A Maspero - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2016 - Elsevier
In this paper we study the Birkhoff coordinates (Cartesian action angle coordinates) of the
Toda lattice with periodic boundary condition in the limit where the number N of the particles …

Adiabatic invariants for the FPUT and Toda chain in the thermodynamic limit

T Grava, A Maspero, G Mazzuca, A Ponno - … in Mathematical Physics, 2020 - Springer
Abstract We consider the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou (FPUT) chain composed by N ≫ 1
N≫ 1 particles and periodic boundary conditions, and endow the phase space with the …

Memory effects in the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam model

G Amati, H Meyer, T Schilling - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2019 - Springer
We study the intermediate scattering function (ISF) of the strongly-nonlinear Fermi–Pasta–
Ulam Model at thermal equilibrium, using both numerical and analytical methods. From the …

Dynamical thermalization of Frenkel-Kontorova model in the thermodynamic limit

Z Zhang, C Tang, P Tong - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We study numerically the process of dynamical thermalization in the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK)
model with weak nonlinearity. The total energy has initially equidistributed among some of …

Some analytic results on the FPU paradox

D Bambusi, A Carati, A Maiocchi, A Maspero - … partial differential equations …, 2015 - Springer
We present some analytic results aiming at explaining the lack of thermalization observed by
Fermi Pasta and Ulam in their celebrated numerical experiment. In particular we focus on …

Classical infrared spectra of ionic crystals and their relevance for statistical mechanics

A Carati, L Galgani, A Maiocchi, F Gangemi… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2018 - Elsevier
It was recently shown that the experimental infrared spectra of ionic crystals at room
temperature are very well reproduced by classical realistic models, and here new results are …

Classical microscopic theory of dispersion, emission and absorption of light in dielectrics: Classical microscopic theory of dielectric susceptibility

A Carati, L Galgani - The European Physical Journal D, 2014 - Springer
This paper is a continuation of a recent one in which, apparently for the first time, the
existence of polaritons in ionic crystals was proven in a microscopic electrodynamic theory …

An extensive resonant normal form for an arbitrary large Klein–Gordon model

S Paleari, T Penati - Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (1923-), 2016 - Springer
We consider a finite but arbitrarily large Klein–Gordon chain, with periodic boundary
conditions. In the limit of small couplings in the nearest neighbor interaction, and small (total …

1953: Fermi's" little discovery" and the birth of the numerical experiment
