Abstract
A class of models of driven diffusive systems which is shown to exhibit phase separation in dimensions is introduced. Unlike all previously studied models exhibiting similar phenomena, here the phase separated state is fluctuating in the bulk of the macroscopic domains. The nature of the phase transition from the homogeneous to the phase separated state is discussed in view of a recently introduced criterion for phase separation in one-dimensional driven systems.
