Continuity of the flow of KdV with regard to the Wasserstein metrics and application to an invariant measure (Q2343528)

The authors study the initial value problem for the Korteweg de Vries equation on the torus of dimension 1. A measure \(\mu\) on the topological \(\sigma\)-algebra of the Sobolev space \(H^s\), \(s \geq 0\), is taken as an initial datum, and the action of the KdV flow \(\Psi(t)\) on this measure is studied, defined as \(\mu^t(A) = \mu(\Psi(t)^{-1} A)\) on every measurable set \(A\). The main result of the paper is the local Lipschitz continuity of the KdV flow with respect to the Wasserstein metrics on the measure spaces \(M_{s, p}\), where this metrics is defined. In conclusion, the construction of an invariant measure under the flow of KdV in \(M_{s, p}\), \(s < 1/2\), \(p < \infty\), is provided due to [\textit{J. Bourgain}, Geom. Funct. Anal. 3, No. 3, 209--262 (1993; Zbl 0787.35098)] and the authors prove that this measure is locally stable in time, as a corollary of the main result.
