On two-temperature problem for harmonic crystals

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in d dimensions with n components,d,nge1. The initial date is a random function with finite mean density of the energy which also satisfies a Rosenblatt- or Ibragimov-Linnik-type mixing condition. The random function converges to different space-homogeneous processes as xdopminfty, with the distributions mupm. We study the distribution mut of the solution at time tinR. The main result is the convergence of mut to a Gaussian translation-invariant measure as toinfty. The proof is based on the long time asymptotics of the Green function and on Bernstein's `room-corridor' argument. The application to the case of the Gibbs measures mupm=gpm with two different temperatures Tpm is given. Limiting mean energy current density is (0,...,0,C(T+T)) with some positive constant C>0 what corresponds to Second Law.
