Particle density in diffusion-limited annihilating systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Place an A-particle at each site of a graph independently with probability p and otherwise place a B-particle. A- and B-particles perform independent continuous time random walks at rates lambdaA and lambdaB, respectively, and annihilate upon colliding with a particle of opposite type. Bramson and Lebowitz studied the setting lambdaA=lambdaB in the early 1990s. Despite recent progress, many basic questions remain unanswered for when lambdaAeqlambdaB. For the critical case p=1/2 on low-dimensional integer lattices, we give a lower bound on the expected number of particles at the origin that matches physicists' predictions. For the process with lambdaB=0 on the integers and the bidirected regular tree, we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the expected total occupation time of the root at and approaching criticality.
