Diffusion of power in randomly perturbed Hamiltonian partial differential equations (Q1781826)

The authors study the system: \(i\partial_t\phi(t)= (H_0+\varepsilon g(t)\beta)\phi(t, x)\), where \(H_0\) and \(\beta\) are self-adjoint operators on the Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\). Let \(g_0(t)\) be a fixed real-valued function with support in \([0,T]\), and \(\{d_j\geq 0\}_{j\geq0}\) a random sequence. They treat the systems with \(g(t)= \sum_{n=0\sim\infty}g_0(t- t_n)\); \(t_0= d_0\), \(t_n= d_n+ \sum_{i= 0\sim(n-1)})d_i+ T)\), \(n\geq 1\). (I) Suppose that \(H_0\) has only a discrete spectrum, \(\|\beta\|= 1\), and \(g= g_0\) with \(\| g_0\|_1= 1\). That is, \(H_0\psi_j= \lambda_j\psi_j\), \(\langle\psi_i,\psi_j\rangle= \delta_{ij}\). Assume that \(\{a_j(t)\}\) in \(\phi(x, t)= \sum_j a_j(t)\psi_j(x)\) satisfies \(E(a_j(0)\overline{a_k(0)})= 0\) for \(j\neq k\). Then \[ \begin{multlined} P_k(t)(:= E(|a_k(t)|^2))= P_k(0)+ \varepsilon^2\sum_j|\langle\psi_j, \beta\cdot\psi)\rangle|^2\cdot\\|{\mathcal F}g_0(\lambda_j- \lambda_k)|^2(P_j(0)- P_k(0))+ O(\varepsilon^3)\equiv (T_\varepsilon P(0))_k+ O(\varepsilon^3),\end{multlined} \] holds for \(t> T\). For the system with \(\{d_j\}\) satisfying \(E(\exp(i(\lambda_j- \lambda_k)d_m)= 0\) for \(j\neq k\), \[ P^{(n)}(:= \{P_k^{(n)}\equiv E(|a_k(t)|^2)\})= (T_\varepsilon)^n P(0)+ O(n\varepsilon^3), \] \(t_{n-1}+ T\leq t\leq t_n\), holds for \(n\geq 1\). (II) The spectrum of \(H_0\) has an absolutely continuous part: \[ \phi(t, x)= \sum_{j= 1\sim m} a_j(t)\psi_j(x)+ P_c\phi(x,t). \] Then \(P(t)= (T_{\text{disc},\varepsilon}- \varepsilon^2\Gamma)^n P(0)+ O(\varepsilon^{4/5})\), holds for \(t> 0\). Here, \(n\) is the integer part of \(t/(T+ M)\), and \(M\) is the mean of \(\{d_j\}\).
