Abstract

We derive rigorously the non-linear macroscopic system associated to a microscopic system of coupled quintic Schr\"odinger equations in the framework of discrete wave turbulence under a particular scaling law that describes the limiting process. Our system evolves from a pair of well-prepared random initial data. More precisely, in dimensions d2d\geq2, we set up our microscopic system on a large box of size LL with weak non-linearity of strength ϵ\epsilon. In the limit LL\to\infty and ϵ0\epsilon\to0, under the scaling law ϵL1β=1\epsilon L^{\frac{1}{\beta}}=1 with β(1,)\beta\in(1,\infty), we prove that the long-time behaviour of our microscopic system is statistically described up to times δϵ1\delta\epsilon^{-1} by a non-linear resonant system whose dynamics are driven by exact resonances, where δ\delta is independent of LL and ϵ\epsilon. Our system does not display generic symmetries, in particular not mass conservation. In such systems with fewer invariances, exact resonances contribute significantly compared to quasi-resonances and are essentially responsible for the effective dynamics in the large-box limit. We justify the emergence of discrete wave turbulence for our microscopic model.
