Long time, large scale limit of the Wigner transform for a system of linear oscillators in one dimension
We consider the long time, large scale behavior of the Wigner transform
W_\eps(t,x,k) of the wave function corresponding to a discrete wave equation
on a 1-d integer lattice, with a weak multiplicative noise. This model has been
introduced in Basile, Bernardin, and Olla to describe a system of interacting
linear oscillators with a weak noise that conserves locally the kinetic energy
and the momentum. The kinetic limit for the Wigner transform has been shown in
Basile, Olla, and Spohn. In the present paper we prove that in the unpinned
case there exists such that for any the
weak limit of W_\eps(t/\eps^{3/2\gamma},x/\eps^{\gamma},k), as \eps\ll1,
satisfies a one dimensional fractional heat equation with . In the pinned case an analogous
result can be claimed for W_\eps(t/\eps^{2\gamma},x/\eps^{\gamma},k) but the
limit satisfies then the usual heat equation
