The stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used as a model to describe Bose-Einstein condensation at positive temperature. The equation is a complex Ginzburg Landau -equation with a trapping potential and an additive space-time white noise.

Two important questions for this system are the global existence of solutions in the support of the Gibbs measure, and the convergence of those solutions to the equilibrium for large time.

We present these two results in dimension one. In order to prove the convergence to equilibrium, we use the associated purely dissipative equation as an auxiliary equation, for which the convergence may be obtained using standard techniques. Global existence is in fact obtained for all initial data, and not almost surely with respect to the invariant measure.
