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…

We study the dynamics of the $(\alpha+\beta)$ Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice (FPUT lattice, for short) for an arbitrary number $N$ of interacting particles, in regimes of small enough nonlinearity so that a Birkhoff-Gustavson type of…

We investigate the long term evolution of trajectories in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) system, using as a probe the first non--trivial integral $J$ in the hierarchy of integrals of the corresponding Toda lattice model. To this end we perform…

We prove the existence of small-amplitude periodic traveling waves in dimer Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) lattices without assumptions of physical symmetry. Such lattices are infinite, one-dimensional chains of coupled particles in which…

We study a certain type of the celebrated Fermi-Pasta-Ulam particle chain, namely the inverted FPU model, where the inter-particle potential has a form of a quartic double well. Numerical evidence is given in support of a simple symbolic…

The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains of particles in \textit{thermal equilibrium} are studied from both wave-interaction and particle-interaction points of view. It is shown that, even in a strongly nonlinear regime, the chain in thermal…

Heat conduction in low-dimensional systems exhibits strong deviations from Fourier behavior due to anharmonicity and long-lived vibrational correlations, challenging conventional computational approaches. The…

The Alpha version of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem is revisited through direct numerical simulations and an application of weak turbulence theory. The energy spectrum, initialized with a large scale excitation, is traced through a series of…

We apply Wave Turbulence theory to describe the dynamics on nonlinear one-dimensional chains. We consider $\alpha$ and $\beta$ Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) systems, and the discrete nonlinear Klein-Gordon chain. We demonstrate that…

A Fluctuation Theorem (FT), both Classical and Quantum, describes the large-deviations in the approach to equilibrium of an isolated quasi-integrable system. Two characteristics make it unusual: (i) it concerns the internal dynamics of an…

Recent work has developed a nonlinear hydrodynamic fluctuation theory for a chain of coupled anharmonic oscillators governing the conserved fields, namely stretch, momentum, and energy. The linear theory yields two propagating sound modes…

The earlier theory [1] of the quantum phase transitions related to the change of the Fermi Surface Topology (FST) is advanced. For such transitions the Fermi surface as a quantum critical manifold determined by the Lee-Yang zeros, the order…
