A system is said to be ergodic if time averages are, for a sufficient long time, equivalent to phase space averages. This "ergodic hypothesis" is taken by many authors as the foundation of statistical mechanics.

Chaos and Ergodicity in Hamiltonian Field Theory?

In classical mechanics, one intuitive formulation of chaos/ergodicity (in the loose sense) is that most trajectories should fill up phase space densely over infinite time. … Does anyone know of a systematic treatment of chaos and ergodicity in classical field theories? Are there solvable examples? …
