Abstract: We introduce a class of stochastic weakly coupled map lattices, as models for studying heat conduction in solids. Each particle on the lattice evolves according to an internal dynamics that depends on its energy, and exchanges energy with its neighboors at a rate that depends on its internal state. We study energy fluctuations at equilibrium in a diffusive scaling. In some cases, we derive the hydordynamic limit of the fluctuation field.

Review text

The derivation of the nonlinear heat equation from a microscopic model of a solid can be viewed as an open problem in statistical thermodynamics. In this paper, the author introduces simplified microscopic models of a solid and studies analytically the inherent fluctuations of energy at a thermodynamic equilibrium via the consideration of a fluctuation field and via the application of a diffusive rescaling of space and time, which means that the heat conduction process is described stochastically at a mesoscopic scale. Although Theorem 1 and Corollary 1 are of independent interest, the reader might ask whether the macroscopic coefficient of heat conduction can be derived as a function of temperature from the mesoscopic model, which would be a step towards empirical validation of the presented microscopic models.
