Abstract: We study the fluctuation of the Atlas model, where a unit drift is assigned to the lowest ranked particle among a semi-infinite (mathbbZ+-indexed) system of otherwise independent Brownian particles, initiated according to a Poisson point process on mathbbR+. In this context, we show that the joint law of ranked particles, after being centered and scaled by t1/4, converges as toinfty to the Gaussian field corresponding to the solution of the additive stochastic heat equation on mathbbR+ with Neumann boundary condition at zero. This allows us to express the asymptotic fluctuation of the lowest ranked particle in terms of a frac14-fractional Brownian motion. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Pal and Pitman (2008) about the asymptotic Gaussian fluctuation of the ranked particles.
