The nonlinear Schrödinger equation,, arises from a Hamiltonian on infinite-dimensional phase space. For, Bourgain (Comm. Math. Phys. 166 (1994), 1–26) has shown that there exists a Gibbs measureon ballsin phase space such that the Cauchy problem foris well posed on the support of, and thatis invariant under the flow. This paper shows thatsatisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) for the focusing caseandonfor allN>0; alsosatisfies a restricted LSI foron compact subsets ofdetermined by Hölder norms. Hence forp = 4, the spectral data of the periodic Dirac operator inwith random potentialsubject toare concentrated near to their mean values. The paper concludes with a similar result for the spectral data of Hill's equation when the potential is random and subject to the Gibbs measure of Korteweg–de Vries. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The periodic Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation arises from a Hamiltonian system with infinite-dimensional phase space . Bourgain has shown that there exists a Gibbs probability measure ν on balls in the phase space such that the Cauchy problem for KdV is well posed on the support of ν, and ν is invariant under the KdV flow. This paper shows that ν satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. This paper also presents logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for the modified periodic KdV equation and the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, for small values of N. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
