Ergodic results for the stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with large damping (Q2688439)

In this paper, the authors study the long-time behaviour of the following stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the form \begin{gather*} du(t)+[ i \Delta u(t)+ i\alpha|u(t)|^{2\sigma}u(t)+\lambda u(t)] dt=\Phi dW(t)\\ u(0,x)=u_0, \end{gather*} where \(\sigma>0\), \(\lambda>0\), \(\alpha\in\{\pm1\}\). The existence of invariant measures depends on the damping term as well as on the forcing term. On the other hand, without the damping term it is well known that the stochastic Schrödinger equation has a different long-time behaviour; in [\textit{S. Herr} et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 368, No. 2, 843--884 (2019; Zbl 1416.35239)], it is proved that stochastic solutions may scatter at large time in the subcritical or defocusing case. While, the question of the uniqueness of invariant measures is quite challenging for the SPDE's with a zero-order dissipation. In this paper, for the spatial dimensions \(d\geq3\), the author prove the uniqueness of the invariant measure when the damping coefficient \(\lambda\) is sufficiently large.
