Asymptotic localization of energy in Nondisordered oscillator chains
Résumé
We study two popular one-dimensional chains of classical anharmonic oscillators: the rotor chain and a version of the discrete non-linear Schrödinger chain. We assume that the interaction between neighboring oscillators, controlled by the parameter ϵ>0, is small. We rigorously establish that the thermal conductivity of the chains has a non-perturbative origin, with respect to the coupling constant ϵ, and we provide strong evidence that it decays faster than any power law in ϵ as ϵ→0. The weak coupling regime also translates into a high temperature regime, suggesting that the conductivity vanishes faster than any power of the inverse temperature.
