Abstract:
The simple inclusion process (SIP) interpolates between two well-known lattice gas models: the independent random walkers and the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti model. Here we study large deviations of nonstationary mass transfer in the SIP at long times in one dimension. We suppose that N≫1 particles start from a single lattice site at the origin, and we are interested in the probability P(M,N,T) of observing M of the particles, 0≤M≤N, to the right of the origin at a specified time T≫1. At large times, the corresponding full probability distribution has a large-deviation behavior, -lnP(M,N,T)≃sqrt[T]s(M/N,N/sqrt[T]). We determine the rate function s exactly by uncovering and utilizing complete integrability, by the inverse scattering method, of the underlying equations of the macroscopic fluctuation theory. We also analyze different asymptotic limits of the rate function s.
