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.
