Abstract: We investigate non-stationary heat transfer in the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) lattice gas model at long times in one dimension when starting from a localized heat distribution. At large scales this initial condition can be described as a delta-function, $u(x,t=0)=Wdelta(x)$. We characterize the process by the heat, transferred to the right of a specified point $x=X$ by time $T$, ${\displaystyle }$ J=int_X^infty u(x,t=T),dx,, ${\displaystyle }$ and study the full probability distribution $mathcalP(J,X,T)$. The particular case of $X=0$ has been recently solved [Bettelheim extit{et al}. Phys. Rev. Lett. extbf{128}, 130602 (2022)]. At fixed $J$, the distribution $mathcalP$ as a function of $X$ and $T$ has the same long-time dynamical scaling properties as the position of a tracer in a single-file diffusion. Here we evaluate $mathcalP(J,X,T)$ by exploiting the recently uncovered complete integrability of the equations of the macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) for the KMP model and using the Zakharov-Shabat inverse scattering method. We also discuss asymptotics of $mathcalP(J,X,T)$ which we extract from the exact solution, and also obtain by applying two different perturbation methods directly to the MFT equations.
