Abstract: We introduce a mass conserving stochastic perturbation of the discrete nonlinear Schr"odinger equation that models the action of a heat bath at a given temperature. We prove that the corresponding canonical Gibbs distribution is the unique invariant measure. In the one-dimensional cubic focusing case on the torus, we prove that in the limit for large time, continuous approximation, and low temperature, the solution converges to the steady wave of the continuous equation that minimizes the energy for a given mass.

Review text

I find this article very interesting. Consider 1d mass subcritical NLS in the periodic case or on torus, in particular the focusing case. It is known that one can construct a natural Gibbs measure, and it can be proven such a Gibbs measure is invariant under the evolution of this equation. It is however not clear or not expected, in particular in the cubic case, where this model has many/infinity conservation laws, that such a Gibbs measure is the unique invariant measure for the (nonlinear) Schrödinger flow. One way to overcome this, is to add some noise to the system. The idea of adding noise seems to be natural in those contexts. But there are two difficulties. 1. Multiplicative noise is hard to study. 2. Additive noise is not mass conserving. The current article proposes a mass conserving stochastic perturbation of the discrete model, in which case the Gibbs measure becomes the unique invariant distribution. The authors are analyzing this carefully in the article.
