Non-equilibrium and stationary fluctuations for the SSEP with slow boundary

Abstract

We derive the non-equilibrium fluctuations of one-dimensional symmetric simple exclusion processes in contact with slowed stochastic reservoirs which are regulated by a factor $n^{-\theta}$. Depending on the range of $\theta$ we obtain processes with various boundary conditions. Moreover, as a consequence of the previous result we deduce the non-equilibrium stationary fluctuations by using the matrix ansatz method which gives us information on the stationary measure for the model. The main ingredient to prove these results is the derivation of precise bounds on the two-point space-time correlation function, which are a consequence of precise bounds on the transition probability of some underlying random walks.
