If the process obtained by identifying states that are translations of each other is positively recurrent, then it is said that the voter model exhibits interface tightness. In 1995, Cox and Durrett proved that one-dimensional voter models exhibit interface tightness if their infection rates have a finite third moment. Recently, Belhaouari, Mountford, and Valle have improved this by showing that a finite second moment suffices. The present paper gives a new short proof of this fact. We also prove interface tightness for a long range swapping voter model, which has a mixture of long range voter model and exclusion process dynamics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-07-11T08:59:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82C22", "82C24", "82C41", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "voter model interfaces", "interface tightness", "one-dimensional voter model", "long range swapping voter model", "finite second moment suffices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.4405S" } } }
