Localization transition in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation: ensembles inequivalence and negative temperatures

Localization transition in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation: ensembles inequivalence and negative temperatures

We present a detailed account of a first-order localization transition in the Discrete Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation, where the localized phase is associated to the high energy region in parameter space. We show that, due to ensemble inequivalence, this phase is thermodynamically stable only in the microcanonical ensemble. In particular, we …
