Order of current variance and diffusivity in the rate one totally asymmetric zero range process
Abstract
We prove that the variance of the current across a characteristic is of order t^{2/3} in a stationary constant rate totally asymmetric zero range process, and that the diffusivity has order t^{1/3}. This is a step towards proving universality of this scaling behavior in the class of one-dimensional interacting systems with one conserved quantity and concave hydrodynamic flux. The proof proceeds via couplings to show the corresponding moment bounds for a second class particle. We build on the methods developed by Balazs-Seppalainen for asymmetric simple exclusion. However, some modifications were needed to handle the larger state space. Our results translate into t^{2/3}-order of variance of the tagged particle on the characteristics of totally asymmetric simple exclusion.
