Cutoff for the Fredrickson-Andersen one spin facilitated model

The Fredrickson-Andersen one spin facilitated model belongs to the class of Kinetically Constrained Spin Models. It is a non attractive process with positive spectral gap. In this paper we give a precise result on the relaxation for this process on an interval $[1,L]$ starting from any initial configuration. A consequence of this result is that this process exhibits cutoff at time $L/(2v)$ with window $O(\sqrt{L})$ for a certain positive constant $v$. The key ingredient is the study of the evolution of the leftmost empty site in a filled infinite half-line called the front. In the process of the proof, we improve recent results about the front motion by showing that it evolves at speed $v$ according to a uniform central limit theorem.

Self-Diffusion Coefficient in the Kob-Andersen Model

The Kob-Andersen model is a fundamental example of a kinetically constrained lattice gas, that is, an interacting particle system with Kawasaki type dynamics and kinetic constraints. In this model, a particle is allowed to jump when sufficiently many neighboring sites are empty. We study the motion of a single tagged particle and in particular its convergence to a Brownian motion. Previous results showed that the path of this particle indeed converges in diffusive time-scale, and the purpose of this paper is to study the rate of decay of the self-diffusion coefficient for large densities. We find upper and lower bounds matching to leading behavior.
