To our knowledge, it is a first such result for a general class of particle systems with neither duality nor explicit invariant measures. The new tools to handle the lack of an invariant measure are estimates for Kolmogorov equations that produce a more robust proof of the Kipnis-Varadhan inequality. These tools are not exclusive to KPZ.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-16T17:59:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60H17" ], "keywords": [ "asep plus general speed-change drift", "kpz equation", "asymmetric simple exclusion processes", "local particle configuration", "explicit invariant measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
