The system evolves in the one-dimensional lattice and the jump rate is everywhere equal to one except at the slow bond where it is $\\alpha n^-\\beta$, where $\\alpha,\\beta\\geq{0}$ and $n$ is the scaling parameter. Depending on the regime of $\\beta$, we find three different behaviors for the limiting fluctuations whose covariances are explicitly computed. In particular, for the critical value $\\beta=1$, starting a tagged particle near the slow bond, we obtain a family of gaussian processes indexed in $\\alpha$, interpolating a fractional brownian motion of Hurst exponent 1/4 and the degenerate process equal to zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-11-27T12:56:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "26A24", "35K55" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric slowed exclusion", "equilibrium fluctuations", "phase transition", "slow bond", "tagged particle" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.4935F" } } }
