Abstract
The Benjamin-Ono equation describes the propagation of internal waves in a stratified fluid. In the present work, we study large time dynamics of its regular solutions via some probabilistic point of view. We prove the existence of an invariant measure concentrated on $C^\infty(\T)$ and establish some qualitative properties of this measure. We then deduce a recurrence property of regular solutions and other corollaries using ergodic theorems. The approach used in this paper applies to other equations with infinitely many conservation laws, such as the KdV and cubic Schrödinger equations in 1D. It uses the fluctuation-dissipation-limit approach and relies on a \textit{uniform} smoothing lemma for stationary solutions to the damped-driven Benjamin-Ono equation.
