The Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou (FPUT) system, describing the evolution of $N$ coupled harmonic oscillators, has been the subject of much attention since the 1950's when experiments which contradicted predictions of thermalization of the…
We report numerical evidence of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT)-like recurrence in weakly damped, periodically driven alpha-FPUT chains. In narrow regions of driving amplitude and damping, the steady-state energy is exchanged among a few…
The stability of the one-mode nonlinear solutions of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam - $\beta$ system is numerically investigated. No external perturbation is considered for the one-mode exact analytical solutions, the only perturbation being that…

We investigate the dynamics of the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou chain with long-wavelength random initial data. When the energy per particle is small, thermal equilibrium is not reached on a fast timescale and the system enters…

We consider the original $\beta$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou ($\beta$-FPUT) system; numerical simulations and theoretical arguments suggest that, for a finite number of masses, a statistical equilibrium state is reached independently of the…
We study the thermalization dynamics of one-dimensional diatomic lattices (which represents the simplest system possessing multi-branch phonons), exemplified by the famous Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT)-$\beta$ and the Toda models. Here we…
Macroscopic systems, when governed by nonlinear interactions, can display rich behavior from persistent oscillations to signatures of ergodicity breaking. Nonlinearity, long regarded as a nuisance in precision systems, is increasingly…
It is shown that the nonlinear wave equation $\partial_t^2\phi - \partial^2_x \phi -\mu_0\partial_x(\partial_x\phi)^3 =0$, which is the continuum limit of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) beta model, has a positive Lyapunov exponent lambda_1,…
The Peierls equation is considered for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\beta$ lattice. Explicit form of the linearized collision operator is obtained. Using this form the decay rate of the normal mode energy as a function of wave vector $k$ is…
The foundations of weak turbulence theory is explored through its application to the (alpha) Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model, a simple weakly nonlinear dispersive system. A direct application of the standard kinetic equations would miss…
We present a non-perturbative, mean-field theory for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou model with quartic interaction, capturing the quasiperiodic features shown by the system at all energies in the thermodynamic limit. Starting from the true…

Some exact solutions and multi-mode invariant submanifolds were found for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) beta-model by Poggi and Ruffo in Phys. D 103 (1997) 251. In the present paper we demonstrate how results of such a type can be obtained for…
It is well known that Gibbs' statistical mechanics is not justified for systems presenting long-range interactions, such as plasmas or galaxies. In a previous work we considered a realistic FPU-like model of an ionic crystal (and thus with…
We numerically study a one-dimensional system of $N$ classical localized planar rotators coupled through interactions which decay with distance as $1/r^\alpha$ ($\alpha \ge 0$). The approach is a first principle one (\textit{i.e.}, based on…
We study the statistics and short-times dynamics of the classical and the quantum Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain in thermal equilibrium. We analyze the distributions of single-particle configurations by integrating out the rest of the system. At…
Understanding the interplay between different wave excitations, such as phonons and localized solitons, is crucial for developing coarse-grained descriptions of many-body, near-integrable systems. We treat the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou…
