Abstract: Inspiring by a recent work [57], we analyse a 3-wave kinetic equation, derived from the elastic beam wave equation on the lattice. The ergodicity condition states that two distinct wavevectors are supposed to be connected by a finite number of collisions. In this work, we prove that once the ergodicity condition is violated, the domain is broken into disconnected domains, called no-collision and collisional invariant regions. If one starts with a general initial condition, whose energy is finite, then in the long-time limit, the solutions of the 3-wave kinetic equation remain unchanged on the no-collision region and relax to local equilibria on the disjoint collisional invariant regions. The equilibration temperature will differ from region to region. This behavior of 3-wave systems was first described by Spohn in [55], without a detailed rigorous proof. Our proof follows Spohn's physically intuitive arguments.
