Abstract

We consider a partial exclusion process evolving on Zd\mathbb Z^d in a random trapping environment. In dimension d2d\ge 2, we derive the fractional kinetics equation \begin{equation*}\frac{\partial^\beta\rho_t}{\partial t^\beta} = \Delta \rho_t \end{equation*} as a hydrodynamic limit of the particle system. Here, βtβ\frac{\partial^\beta}{\partial t^\beta}, β(0,1)\beta\in(0,1), denotes the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. We thus exhibit a Markovian interacting particle system whose empirical density field rescales to a sub-diffusive equation corresponding to a non-Markovian process, the Fractional Kinetics process. In contrast, we show that, when d=1d=1, the system rescales to the solution to \begin{equation*} \frac{\partial \rho_t}{\partial t}= \mathcal L_\beta \rho_t\ , \end{equation*} where Lβ\mathcal L_\beta is the random generator of the singular quasi-diffusion known as FIN diffusion.
