Abstract
We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in n dimensions with d components, where d and n are arbitrary, d, n ⩾ 1. The initial data are given by a random function with finite mean energy density which also satisfies a Rosenblatt-or Ibragimov-type mixing condition. The random function is close to diverse space-homogeneous processes as x n → ±∞, with the distributions μ±. We prove that the phase flow is mixing with respect to the limit measure of statistical solutions.
