Weak chaos in the disordered nonlinear Schroedinger chain: destruction of Anderson localization by Arnold diffusion
arXiv:1005.5033 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2011.02.004
Abstract
The subject of this study is the long-time equilibration dynamics of a strongly disordered one-dimensional chain of coupled weakly anharmonic classical oscillators. It is argued that chaos in this system has a very particular spatial structure: it can be viewed as a dilute gas of chaotic spots. Each chaotic spot corresponds to a stochastic pump which drives the Arnold diffusion of the oscillators surrounding it, thus leading to their relaxation and thermalization. The most important mechanism of relaxation at long distances is provided by random migration of the chaotic spots along the chain, which bears analogy with variable-range hopping of electrons in strongly disordered solids. The cor- resonding macroscopic transport equations are obtained.
