Abstract In this note, we address the validity of certain exact results from turbulence theory in the deterministic setting. The main tools, inspired by the work of Duchon and Robert (2000Nonlinearity13249–55) and Eyink (2003Nonlinearity16137), are a number of energy balance identities for weak solutions of the incompressible Euler and Navier–Stokes equations. As a consequence, we show that certain weak solutions of the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations satisfy deterministic versions of Kolmogorov’s , , laws. We apply these computations to improve a recent result of Hofmanovaet al(2023 arXiv:2304.14470), which shows that a construction of solutions of forced Navier–Stokes due to Bruèet al(2023Commun. Pure Appl. Anal.) and exhibiting a form of anomalous dissipation satisfies asymptotic versions of Kolmogorov’s laws. In addition, we show that the globally dissipative 3D Euler flows recently constructed by Giriet al(2023 arXiv:2305.18509) satisfy the local versions of Kolmogorov’s laws.

Birth–death dynamics for sampling: global convergence, approximations and their asymptotics
Abstract Motivated by the challenge of sampling Gibbs measures with nonconvex potentials, we study a continuum birth–death dynamics. We improve results in previous works (Liuet al2023Appl. Math. Optim.8748; Luet al2019 arXiv:1905.09863) and provide weaker hypotheses under which the probability density of the birth–death governed by Kullback–Leibler divergence or byχ2divergence converge exponentially fast to the Gibbs equilibrium measure, with a universal rate that is independent of the potential barrier. To build a practical numerical sampler based on the pure birth–death dynamics, we consider an interacting particle system, which is inspired by the gradient flow structure and the classical Fokker–Planck equation and relies on kernel-based approximations of the measure. Using the technique of Γ-convergence of gradient flows, we show that on the torus, smooth and bounded positive solutions of the kernelised dynamics converge on finite time intervals, to the pure birth–death dynamics as the kernel bandwidth shrinks to zero. Moreover we provide quantitative estimates on the bias of minimisers of the energy corresponding to the kernelised dynamics. Finally we prove the long-time asymptotic results on the convergence of the asymptotic states of the kernelised dynamics towards the Gibbs measure.

This article introduces a novel numerical approach, based on finite-volume techniques, for studying fully nonlinear coagulation–fragmentation models, where both the coagulation and fragmentation components of the collision operator are nonlinear. The models come from three-wave kinetic equations, a pivotal framework in wave turbulence theory. Despite the importance of wave turbulence theory in physics and mechanics, there have been very few numerical schemes for three-wave kinetic equations, in which no additional assumptions are manually imposed on the evolution of the solutions, and the current manuscript provides one of the first of such schemes. To the best of our knowledge, this also is the first numerical scheme capable of accurately capturing the long-term asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a fully nonlinear coagulation–fragmentation model. The scheme is implemented on some test problems, demonstrating strong alignment with theoretical predictions of energy cascade rates, rigorously obtained in the work (Soffer & Tran. 2020Commun. Math. Phys.376, 2229–2276. (doi:10.1007/BF01419532)). We further introduce a weighted finite-volume variant to ensure energy conservation across varying degrees of kernel homogeneity. Convergence and first-order consistency are established through theoretical analysis and verified by experimental convergence orders in test cases.more » « less

Abstract We calculate the entanglement entropy of a non-contiguous subsystem of a chain of free fermions. The starting point is a formula suggested by Jin and Korepin,arXiv:1104.1004, for the reduced density of states of two disjoint intervals with lattice sitesP= {1, 2, …,m} ∪ {2m+ 1, 2m+ 2, …, 3m}, which applies to this model. As a first step in the asymptotic analysis of this system, we consider its simplification to two disjoint intervals separated just by one site, and we rigorously calculate the mutual information between these two blocks and the rest of the chain. In order to compute the entropy we need to study the asymptotic behaviour of an inverse Toeplitz matrix with Fisher–Hartwig symbol using the the Riemann–Hilbert method.more » « less
