Abstract: We consider the correlations and the hydrodynamic description of random walkers with a general finite memory moving on a $d$ dimensional hypercubic lattice. We derive a drift-diffusion equation and identify a memory-dependent critical density. Above the critical density, the effective diffusion coefficient decreases with the particles' propensity to move forward and below the critical density it increases with their propensity to move forward. If the correlations are neglected the critical density is exactly $1/2$. We also derive a low-density approximation for the same time correlations between different sites. We perform simulations on a one-dimensional system with one-step memory and find good agreement between our analytical derivation and the numerical results. We also consider the previously unexplored special case of totally anti-persistent particles. Generally, the correlation length converges to a finite value. However in the special case of totally anti-persistent particles and density $1/2$, the correlation length diverges with time. Furthermore, connecting a system of totally anti-persistent particles to external particle reservoirs creates a new phenomenon: In almost all systems, regardless of the precise details of the microscopic dynamics, when a system is connected to a reservoir, the mean density of particle at the edge is the same as the reservoir following the zeroth law of thermodynamics. In a totally anti-persistent system, however, the density at the edge is always higher than in the reservoir. We find a qualitative description of this phenomenon which agrees reasonably well with the numerics.
