Superdiffusivity of two dimensional lattice gas models

It was proved \cite{EMYa, QY} that stochastic lattice gas dynamics converge to the Navier-Stokes equations in dimension $d=3$ in the incompressible limits. In particular, the viscosity is finite. We proved that, on the other hand, the viscosity for a two dimensional lattice gas model diverges faster than $\log \log t$. Our argument indicates that the correct divergence rate is $(\log t)^{1/2}$. This problem is closely related to the logarithmic correction of the time decay rate for the velocity auto-correlation function of a tagged particle.

Linear Boltzmann Equation as the Weak Coupling Limit of a Random Schrodinger Equation

We study the time evolution of a quantum particle in a Gaussian random environment. We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the wave function converges to a solution of a linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The Boltzmann collision kernel is given by the Born approximation of the quantum differential scattering cross section.
