Diffusive clustering in the two dimensional voter model

From MaRDI portal





We study the behavior of an interacting particle system known as the voter model in two dimensions. This process provides a simple example of ``critical clustering among two colors, say green and black, in the plane. The paper begins with some computer simulations, and a survey of known results concerning the voter model in the three qualitatively distinct cases: three or more dimensions (high), one dimension (low), and two dimensions (critical). Our main theorem, for the planar model, states roughly that at large times t the proportion of green sites on a box of side \(t^{\alpha /2}\) centered at the origin fluctuates with \(\alpha\) according to a time change of the Fisher-Wright diffusion. Some applications of the theorem, and several related results, are described.
