The paper deals with a class of interacting diffusion processes (typically interacting Brownian particles) with hard core. It is proved that the self-diffusion matrix of the diffusive limit of a tagged particle is positive when the dimension is greater than or equal to 2. The result also covers the case of high density of Gibbs measures. The key tool adopted in the paper is a variational formula, which goes back to H. Spohn (1990).
