A route to thermalization in the $α$-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam system — mentioned by bjwbell

http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.1603, version of the paper not behind a paywall. The phys.org summary is light on mathematical details. The actual paper is very readable & if you have a math or physics background more understandable, e.g. the paper says six-wave interactions are responsible for "effective irreversible transfer of energy" but the phys.org summary leaves out "effective" (making the phys.org summary confusing IMO).
