Evolution of the ABC model among the segregated configurations in the zero-temperature limit

Probability 2016-05-20 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We consider the ABC model on a ring in a strongly asymmetric regime. The main result asserts that the particles almost always form three pure domains (one of each species) and that this segregated shape evolves, in a proper time scale, as a Brownian motion on the circle, which may have a drift. This is, to our knowledge, the first proof of a zero-temperature limit for a non-reversible dynamics whose invariant measure is not explicitly known.
