Generalized hydrodynamics for the volterra lattice: ballistic and non-ballistic behavior of correlation functions

In recent years, a lot of effort has been put in describing the hydrodynamic behavior of integrable systems. In this paper, we describe such picture for the Volterra lattice. Specifically, we are able to explicitly compute the susceptibility matrix and the current-field correlation matrix in terms of the density of states of the Volterra lattice endowed with a Generalized Gibbs ensemble. Furthermore, we apply the theory of linear Generalized Hydrodynamics (GHDs) to describe the Euler scale behavior of the correlation functions. We anticipate that the solution to the GHDs equations develops shocks at ; so this linear approximation does not fully describe the behavior of correlation functions. Intrigued by this fact, we performed several numerical investigations which show that, exactly when the solution to the hydrodynamic equations develops shock, the correlation functions show an highly oscillatory behavior. In view of this empirical observation, we believe that at this point ξ0 the diffusive contribution are not sub-leading corrections to the ballistic transport, but they are of the same order.
