Diffusivity of lattice gases

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider one component lattice gases with a local dynamics and a stationary product Bernoulli measure. We give upper and lower bounds on the diffusivity at an equilibrium point depending on the dimension and the local behavior of the macroscopic flux function. We show that if the model is expected to be diffusive, it is indeed diffusive, and, if it is expected to be superdiffusive, it is indeed superdiffusive.


This paper is concerned with the study the scaling properties of a family of lattice gas models on the \(d\)-dimensional lattice. The authors are concerned with the scaling exponents of the space-time correlations of the system in equilibrium at a given density. The main results establish bounds on the Laplace transform of that diffusivity which identify the superdiffusive and diffusive cases as predicted by the physical scaling arguments. In the final part, the authors express the Laplace transform of the diffusivity as the \(H_{-1}\) norm of a local function. An interesting appendix on the Green-Kubo formula completes the content of this paper.
