Recommended by P Constantin

We establish the long-time stability of low-energy solitary waves in one-dimensional nonintegrable lattices with Hamiltonian \[ \begin{eqnarray*}H = \sum_{j\in {\Bbb Z}} \left(\frac{1}{2} p_j^2 + V(q_{j+1}-q_j)\right)\end{eqnarray*} \] with a general nearest-neighbour potential V. As a corollary we obtain a recurrence theorem related to numerical observations by Fermi, Pasta and Ulam.
