Abstract : Patrick Gérard and I introduced the cubic Szegö equation around ten years ago as a toy model of a totally non dispersive degenerate Hamiltonian equation. Despite of the fact that it is a complete integrable system, we proved that this equation develops some cascades phenomena. Namely, for a dense set of smooth initial data, the Szegö solutions have unbounded high Sobolev trajectories, detecting transfer of energy from low to high frequencies. However, this dense set has empty interior and a lot of questions remain opened to understand turbulence phenomena. Among others, we would like to understand how interactions of Fourier coefficients interfere on it. In a recent work, Biasi and Evnin explore the phenomenon of turbulence on a one parameter family of equations which goes from the cubic Szegö equation to what they call the 'truncated Szegö equation'. In this latter, most of the Fourier mode couplings are eliminated. However, they prove the existence of unbounded trajectories for simple rational initial data. In this talk, I will explain how, paradoxically, the turbulence phenomena may be promoted by adding a damping term. Those results are closely related to an inverse spectral theorem we proved on the Hankel operators.
