Large deviations for the exclusion process with a slow bond

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider the one-dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process with a slow bond. In this model, whilst all the transition rates are equal to one, a particular bond, the emph{slow bond}, has associated transition rate of value N1, where N is the scaling parameter. This model has been considered in previous works on the subject of hydrodynamic limit and fluctuations. In this paper, assuming uniqueness for weak solutions of hydrodynamic equation associated to the perturbed process, we obtain dynamical large deviations estimates in the diffusive scaling. The main challenge here is the fact that the presence of the slow bond gives rise to Robin's boundary conditions in the emph{continuum}, substantially complicating the large deviations scenario.
