Abstract
Do partial energies in slow–fast Hamiltonian systems equilibrate? This is a long-standing problem related to the foundation of statistical mechanics. Altering the traditional ergodic assumption, we propose that nonergodicity in the fast subsystem leads to equilibration of the whole system. To show this principle, we introduce a set of mechanical toy models—the springy billiards—and describe stochastic processes corresponding to their adiabatic behavior. We expect that these models and this principle will play an important role in the quest to establish and study the underlying postulates of statistical mechanics, one of the long-standing scientific grails.
