Dynamical fluctuations in the Riesz gas

Abstract

We consider an infinite system of particles on a line performing identical Brownian motions and interacting through the xys|x-y|^{-s} Riesz potential, causing the over-damped motion of particles. We investigate fluctuations of the integrated current and the position of a tagged particle. We show that for 0<s<10 < s < 1, the standard deviations of both quantities grow as ts2(1+s)t^{\frac{s}{2(1+s)}}. When s>1s>1, the interactions are effectively short-ranged, and the universal sub-diffusive t14t^\frac{1}{4} growth emerges with only amplitude depending on the exponent. We also show that the two-time correlations of the tagged-particle position have the same form as for fractional Brownian motion.
