Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Hamiltonian system consisting of the Klein–Gordon field and an infinite harmonic crystal. The dynamics of the coupled system is translation-invariant with respect to the discrete subgroup \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) of \(\mathbb{R}^d\). The initial date is assumed to be a random function that is close to two spatially homogeneous (with respect to the subgroup \(\mathbb{Z}^d\)) processes when \(\pm x_1>a\) with some \(a>0\). We study the distribution \(\mu_t\) of the solution at time \(t\in\mathbb{R}\) and prove the weak convergence of \(\mu_t\) to a Gaussian measure \(\mu_\infty\) as \(t\to\infty\). Moreover, we prove the convergence of the correlation functions to a limit and derive the explicit formulas for the covariance of the limit measure \(\mu_\infty\). We give an application to Gibbs measures.

Appendix A: Proof of Theorem 3.1(1)
To prove Theorem 3.1, we introduce some auxiliary notation and prove necessary bounds for the initial correlation functions.
A.1. Bounds for initial covariance
We introduce the splitting \(p=k+r\), where \(k\in\mathbb{Z}^d\) and \(r\in\mathrm K_1^d\cup \{0\}\). In other words, \(r=x-[x]\in\mathrm K_1^d\) if \(p=x\in\mathbb{R}^d\), and \(r=0\) if \(p=k\in\mathbb{Z}^d\). Hence, (1.7) and (2.15) imply that
Lemma A.1.
-
1.
Let conditions S1 and S2 hold. Then the bounds
$$ \begin{alignedat}{3} &\int_{\mathbb{P}^d}|Q_0(p,p')|\,dp\le C<\infty, &\qquad &p'\in\mathbb{P}^d, \\ &\int_{\mathbb{P}^d}|Q_0(p,p')|\,dp'\le C<\infty, &\qquad &p\in\mathbb{P}^d \end{alignedat}$$(A.4)hold with a constant \(C\) independent of \(p,p'\in\mathbb{P}^d\).
-
2.
Let conditions S1–S3 hold. Then
$$D_{y,y'}^{\alpha,\beta} \tilde q_\pm^{\psi^i\psi^j}(\theta,y,y'),\quad D_{y}^\alpha\tilde q_\pm^{\psi^i u^j}(\theta,y),\quad D_{y'}^{\beta}\tilde q_\pm^{u^i\psi^j}(\theta,y'),\quad \tilde q_\pm^{u^iu^j}(\theta)$$are uniformly bounded in \((\theta,y,y')\in\mathrm K^d\times \mathbb{T}_1^d\times \mathbb{T}_1^d\), \(|\alpha|\le1-i\), \(|\beta|\le 1-j\).
Proof.
The bounds in (A.4) follow from condition S2. Furthermore, S1–S3 imply
Corollary A.1.
-
1.
The quadratic form \(\mathcal Q_0(Z,Z)\) is continuous in \(\mathbf L^2:=[L^2(\mathbb{P}^d)]^2\), i.e.,
$$|\mathcal Q_0(Z,Z)|\equiv|\langle Q_0(p,p'),Z(p)\otimes Z(p')\rangle|\le C\|Z\|^2_{\mathbf L^2},\qquad Z\in\mathbf L^2.$$Also, the quadratic forms with the matrix kernels \(Q_\pm(p,p')\) are continuous in \(\mathbf L^2\).

2.
Let \(i,j=0,1\), \(\sigma,\sigma'\in\mathbb{N}\), \(p^{ij}_{\pm,\sigma\sigma'}\) be defined in (2.9), \(k,p\in\{-1;0\}\) for any \(i,j\) or \(k=1\) if \(i=0\) and \(p=1\) if \(j=0\). Then the operators \(\Omega^{k}(\theta)\widetilde{p}^{ij}_{\pm,\sigma\sigma'}(\theta) \Omega^{p}(\theta)\) satisfy the bounds
$$\sum_{\sigma=1}^{+\infty} \int_{\mathrm K^d}\bigl((\Omega^{k}(\theta)\widetilde{p}^{ij}_{\pm,\sigma\sigma}(\theta)\Omega^{p}(\theta)) (\theta,r,r'),\widetilde Z_{e}(\theta,r)\otimes \widetilde Z_{e}(\theta,r')\bigr)\,d\theta\le C\|Z\|_{L^2(\mathbb{P}^d)}^2$$for all \(Z\in L^2(\mathbb{P}^d)\).
-
3.
The quadratic form \(\mathcal Q_\infty(Z,Z)\) is continuous in \(\mathbf L^2\).
Assertion 1 follows from bounds (A.4) by applying either the Schur test (see, e.g., [20]) or Young’s inequality. Assertions 2 and 3 can be proved similarly to Corollary 3.3 in [3].
A.2. Splitting of the covariance \(Q_t\)
Lemma A.2.
The functions \(\zeta_\pm\) introduced in condition S3 admit the following representations (in the Zak transform)
Proof.
We write \(\alpha^{\mathrm c}_\pm(x):=\zeta^{\mathrm c}_\pm(x)-\zeta^{\mathrm c}_\pm(x\mp1)\), \(x\in\mathbb{R}\). Then
We apply the Zak transform to the initial covariance \(Q_0(p,p')\):
In the Zak transform, the solution of problem (1.5) has form (2.3), where
A.3. Stabilization of correlation matrices of \(\mu_t\)
We introduce a set \(\mathcal D^0\subset \mathcal D\) as
Lemma A.3.
Let convergence (3.8) hold for any \(Z\in\mathcal D^0\). Then (3.8) holds for all \(Z\in\mathcal D\).
This lemma can be proved similarly to Lemma 5.2 in [3].
Let \(Z\in\mathcal D^0\) and \(\operatorname{supp}\widetilde Z_e\) stand for the closure of the set
The next lemma follows from Proposition A.4 i), ii) in [11].
Lemma A.4.
Let \(\chi\in C^1(\mathrm K^d)\) and \(\partial_{\theta_1} \omega_\sigma(\theta)\neq 0\) for \(\theta\in\operatorname{supp}\chi\subset (\mathrm K^d\setminus\mathcal{C})\). Then for \(\theta\in\operatorname{supp}\chi\),
Corollary A.2.
Let \(Z\in\mathcal D_N\) with some \(N\in\mathbb{N}\). Then, by (A.12), (A.13) and (A.5), as \(t\to+\infty\), we obtain
We return to the proof of convergence in (3.8). We write
Appendix B: The existence of Gibbs measures
We let \(\mathbb{E}_\beta\) denote the expectation w.r.t. the measure \(g_\beta\). By the Minlos theorem, to prove Lemma 4.1, it suffices to verify that for all \(s,\alpha<-d/2\),
Let \(Y(p)=(\psi(x),u(k),\pi(x),v(k))\) be a random function with the distribution \(g_\beta\). We let \(C^s_\beta\) denote the correlation operator of the random function
