Abstract
Let be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set , reversible with respect to some probability measure . For , let be given by , , , . Consider a zero range process on in which a particle jumps from a site , occupied by particles, to a site at rate . Let stand for the total number of particles. In the stationary state, as , all particles but a finite number accumulate on one single site. We show in this article that in the time scale the site which concentrates almost all particles evolves as a random walk on whose transition rates are proportional to the capacities of the underlying random walk.
