Conjecture on Gaussian absolute continuity and Gibbs measures in Benjamin–Ono Birkhoff coordinates

Let s>1/2s>-1/2, let hs+12h^{s+\frac{1}{2}} denote the sequence space in which the Birkhoff coordinates take values, and let ρs\rho_s be the invariant measure on H0s(T)H^s_0(\mathbb{T}) obtained as the pullback of a measure 4μ4\mu on hs+12h^{s+\frac{1}{2}} by the Birkhoff map. Let θ\theta be a standard complex Gaussian, let 4ζn=n14\zeta_n^*=n^{-1}, and for s<1/2s<1/2 define formally the densities

GN(ζ)=χ(k=1Nnζn2cN)exp(k=1N(k1=kNζk12)2),G_N(\zeta)=\chi\left(\sum_{k=1}^{N}n|\zeta_n|^2-c_N\right)\exp\left(\sum_{k=1}^N\left(\sum_{k_1=k}^N|\zeta_{k_1}|^2\right)^2\right),

where 4χ:RR4\chi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} is continuous with compact support and cNlog(N)c_N\approx\log(N) is a renormalisation constant.

Gaussian absolute-continuity conjecture. If 4μ4\mu is a suitable Gaussian measure on hs+12h^{s+\frac{1}{2}}, then the corresponding measure 4ρs4\rho_s is absolutely continuous with respect to a suitable Gaussian measure on H0s(T)H^s_0(\mathbb{T}). More specifically, the image under the Birkhoff map of the Gibbs measure defined in the cited work should be the measure on hsh^s obtained as the limit, as NN\to\infty, of GN(ζ)μ(dζ)G_N(\zeta)\mu(d\zeta). A similar procedure may lead to the measures considered in the cited works.

This conjecture proposes a probabilistic description of invariant measures for the Benjamin–Ono equation in Birkhoff coordinates. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
