This is a survey of results on long time behavior and attractors for nonlinear Hamiltonian partial differential equations, considering the global attraction to stationary states, stationary orbits, and solitons, the adiabatic effective dynamics of the solitons, and the asymptotic stability of the solitary manifolds. The corresponding numerical results and relations to quantum postulates are considered.This theory differs significantly from the theory of attractors of dissipative systems where the attraction to stationary states is due to an energy dissipation caused by a friction. For the Hamilton equations the friction and energy dissipation are absent, and the attraction is caused by radiation which brings the energy irrevocably to infinity.All the above-mentioned results [21]-[27] on the local energy decay (1.3) mean that the corresponding local attractor of small initial states consists of the zero point only. First results on the global attractors for nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs were obtained by the author in the 1991-1995's for 1D models [37,38,39], and were later extended to nD equations. The main difficulty here is due to the absence of energy dissipation for the Hamilton equations. For example, the attraction to a (proper) attractor is impossible for any finite-dimensional Hamilton system because of the energy conservation. The problem is attacked by analyzing the energy radiation to infinity, which plays the role of dissipation. The progress relies on a novel application of subtle methods of harmonic analysis: the Wiener Tauberian theorem, the Titchmarsh convolution theorem, theory of quasi-measures, the Paley-Wiener estimates, the eigenfunction expansions for nonselfadjoint Hamilton operators based on M.G. Krein theory of J-selfadjoint operators, and others.The results obtained so far indicate a certain dependence of long-teme asymptotics of solutions on the symmetry group of the equation: for example, it may be the trivial group G = {e}, or the unitary group G = U(1), or the group of translations G = R n . Namely, the corresponding results suggest that for 'generic' autonomous equations with a Lie symmetry group G, any finite energy solution admits the asymptotics ψ(x,t) ∼ e g ± t ψ ± (x), t → ±∞.(1.4) Recently, the global attraction to stationary orbits was established for discrete in space and time nonlinear Hamilton equations [105]. The proofs required a refined version of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem for distributions on the circle [106].The main ideas of the proofs [98]-[105] rely on the radiation mechanism caused by dispersion radiation and nonlinear inflation of spectrum (Section 3.8).
