Nonequilibrium fluctuations for a tagged particle in one-dimensional sublinear zero-range processes (Q372557)

The paper deals about nonequilibrium fluctuations of distinguished particle in one-dimensional mean-zero zero-range processes with sublinear increasing rates. Zero-range process is a model of interacting particles which hop from site to site on a lattice with a hop rate which depends, most generally, on the site from which it hops and the number of particles at the departure site. Despite being simply stated, these processes have served as formal models for shaken granular gases, network dynamics, types of queuing, traffic etc. In this paper the authors supply an approach for the main ``local replacement'' with respect to a class of increasing, bounded or sublinear rate zero-range models such that the nonequilibrium limit for the tagged particle can be established. This is the first work to address a nonequilibrium central limit theorem for a second-class particle.
