Abstract

For a sequence of i.i.d. random variables {ξx:x\bbZ}\{\xi_x : x\in \bb Z\} bounded above and below by strictly positive finite constants, consider the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional simple exclusion process in which a particle at xx (resp. x+1x+1) jumps to x+1x+1 (resp. xx) at rate ξx\xi_x. We examine a quenched nonequilibrium central limit theorem for the position of a tagged particle in the exclusion process with bond disorder {ξx:x\bbZ}\{\xi_x : x\in \bb Z\}. We prove that the position of the tagged particle converges under diffusive scaling to a Gaussian process if the other particles are initially distributed according to a Bernoulli product measure associated to a smooth profile ρ0:\bbR[0,1]\rho_0:\bb R\to [0,1].
