Abstract: In this paper we consider a symmetric simple exclusion process (SSEP) on the $d$-dimensional discrete torus $mathbb{T}_N^d$ with a spatial non-homogeneity given by a slow membrane. The slow membrane is defined here as the boundary of a smooth simple connected region $Lambda$ on the continuous $d$-dimensional torus $mathbb{T}^d$. In this setting, bonds crossing the membrane have jump rate $$ and all other bonds have jump rate one, where $alpha>0$, $$, and $NinmathbbN$ is the scaling parameter. In the diffusive scaling we prove that the hydrodynamic limit presents a dynamical phase transition, that is, it depends on the regime of $$. For $$, the hydrodynamic equation is given by the usual heat equation on the continuous torus, meaning that the slow membrane has no effect in the limit. For $$, the hydrodynamic equation is the heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions, meaning that the slow membrane $partialLambda$ divides $mathbb{T}^d$ into two isolated regions $Lambda$ and $Lambd{a}^{c}omplement$. And for the critical value $$, the hydrodynamic equation is the heat equation with certain Robin boundary conditions related to the Fick's Law.
