Abstract

We consider one-dimensional infinite chains of harmonic oscillators with stochastic perturbations and long-range interactions which have polynomial decay rate |x|θ, x, θ>1, where xZ is the interaction range. We prove that if 2<θ3, then the time evolution of the macroscopic thermal energy distribution is superdiffusive and governed by a fractional diffusion equation with exponent 37θ, while if θ>3, then the exponent is 34. The threshold is θ=3 because the derivative of the dispersion relation diverges as k0 when θ3.

Nous considérons une chaîne infinie unidimensionnelle d’oscillateurs harmoniques avec des perturbations stochastiques et une interaction à longue portée avec une décroissance polynomiale d’ordre |x|θ, x, θ>1, où x est la longueur d’interaction. Nous montrons que si 2<θ3, l’évolution en temps de la distribution d’énergie thermique macroscopique est sur diffusive et régie par une équation de diffusion fractionnaire avec exposant 37θ, alors que si θ>3, l’exposant est 34. Le seuil est θ=3 car la dérivée de la relation de dispersion diverge lorsque k0 quand θ3.
