Abstract

We characterize the crossover regime to the KPZ equation for a class of one-dimensional weakly asymmetric exclusion processes. The crossover depends on the strength asymmetry an2γan^{2-\gamma} (a,γ>0a,\gamma>0) and it occurs at γ=1/2\gamma=1/2. We show that the density field is a solution of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation if γ(1/2,1]\gamma\in(1/2,1], while for γ=1/2\gamma=1/2 it is an energy solution of the KPZ equation. The corresponding crossover for the current of particles is readily obtained.
