Homogenization for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with sprinkled nonlinearity

TL;DR
The paper analyzes a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with sprinkled nonlinearity distributed by a Poisson random measure. It proves rigorous homogenization to the cubic NLS and derives a central-limit-type fluctuation equation for the deviation, driven by white noise. The approach combines Laplace-functionals of random measures, Haar-based moment bounds, and robust a priori estimates to control randomness and obtain distributional convergence in $C([-T,T];H^{-s})$ for $s>1/2$. The results extend stochastic homogenization in nonlinear dispersive PDEs beyond periodic or bounded-coupling settings and reveal a universal limiting structure for a broad class of random measures.
Abstract
We first prove homogenization for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with sprinkled nonlinearity introduced in [19]. We then investigate how solutions fluctuate about the homogenized solution.
