Abstract
We study the thermal conductivity of the one dimensional Toda lattice perturbed by a stochastic dynamics preserving energy and momentum. The strength of the stochastic noise is controlled by a parameter γ. We show that heat transport is anomalous, and that the thermal conductivity diverges with the length n of the chain according to κ(n)~nα, with 0<α≤1/2. In particular, the ballistic heat conduction of the unperturbed Toda chain is destroyed. Besides, the exponent α of the divergence depends on γ.
