Derivation of a wave kinetic equation from the resonant-averaged stochastic NLS equation

We suggest a new derivation of a wave kinetic equation for the spectrum of the weakly nonlinear Schrödinger equation with stochastic forcing. The kinetic equation is obtained as a result of a double limiting procedure. Firstly, we consider the equation on a finite box with periodic boundary conditions and send the size of the nonlinearity and of the forcing to zero, while the time is correspondingly rescaled; then, the size of the box is sent to infinity (with a suitable rescaling of the solution). We report here the results of the first limiting procedure, analysed with full rigour in  [8], and show how the second limit leads to a kinetic equation for the spectrum, if some further hypotheses (commonly employed in the weak turbulence theory) are accepted. Finally we show how to derive from these equations the Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra.
