The model is based on an approximating sequence of stochastic PDEs with nonlinear, conservative noise. In the small-noise limit, we show that the fluctuations of the solutions are to first-order the same as the fluctuations of the particle system. Furthermore, the SPDEs correctly simulate the rare events in the particle process. We prove that the solutions satisfy a zero-noise large deviations principle with rate function equal to the rate function describing the deviations of the symmetric simple exclusion process from its hydrodynamic limit.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-03T18:03:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetric simple exclusion process", "conservative stochastic pde", "fluctuations", "hydrodynamic limit", "zero-noise large deviations principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
