Systems that should thermalize, but don't
In general, many-body systems out of equilibrium should eventually thermalize: the system should "forget" the details of the initial state and be well described by statistical mechanics at large times.Well known counter examples are given by "integrable" systems, which have a large number of conserved quantities, that prevent the system from forgetting about the initial state. Can similar non-thermalization occur in manifestly non-integrable systems? Probably yes, we show.
