Local Density of Activated Random Walk on $\mathbb{Z}$

Probability 2026-01-13 v1

Abstract

We consider one-dimensional activated random walk (ARW) on Z\mathbb{Z} started from a `point source' initial condition, with many particles at the origin and no other particles. We prove that, uniformly throughout a macroscopic window around the source, the probability that a site contains a sleeping particle after the configuration is stabilized is approximately the critical density. This represents a first step towards understanding the local structure of the critical stationary measure for ARW.
