Description
In macroscopic systems, the phenomenological Fourier law describes heat transport through the heat diffusion equation. Surprisingly it fails to address heat transport in some low-dimensional systems, where heat  conduction can be super-diffusive. In this talk, I will try to address the question if there is an equivalent of heat equation that describes super diffusive heat transport. By exploring solvable open classical Hamiltonian systems with energy-conserving noise we derive an effective non-local fractional description of superdiffusive heat transport. 

The talk will be based on the following papers:
