Wave turbulence and Bose-Einstein condensates
  Asymptotic behavior of a class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations are studied. Particular cases of 1D weakly focusing and Bose-Einstein condensates are considered. A statistical approach is presented to describe the stationary probability density of a discretized finite system. Using a maximum entropy argument, the theory predicts that the statistical equilibrium is described by energy equivalued fluctuation modes around the coherent structure minimizing the Hamiltonian of the system. Good quantitative agreement is found with numerical simulations. In particular, the particle number spectral density follows an effective $1/k^2$ law for the asymptotic large time averaged solutions. Transient dynamics from a given initial condition to the statistically steady regime shows rapid oscillation of the condensate.
