Dynamical regimes of finite-temperature discrete nonlinear Schrödinger chain

We show that the one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger chain (DNLS) at finite temperature has three different dynamical regimes (ultralow-, low-, and high-temperature regimes). This has been established via (i) one-point macroscopic thermodynamic observables (temperature T, energy density ε, and the relationship between them), (ii) emergence and disappearance of an additional almost conserved quantity (total phase difference), and (iii)...
