Scaling limit and density conjecture for activated random walk on the complete graph

Probability 2026-05-21 v2

Abstract

We study driven-dissipative activated random walk with sleep probability pp on an nn-vertex complete graph with a sink that traps jumping particles with probability qnq_n. We show that the number of sleeping particles SnS_n left by the stationary distribution has a Gumbel scaling limit for exp(n1/3)qnn1/2\exp(-n^{1/3}) \ll q_n \ll n^{-1/2}. The particular scaling implies that SnS_n is hyperuniform and thus the stationary configuration law has negative correlations and is not a product measure. We also prove that Sn/nS_n/n converges to pp if and only if qn=eo(n)q_n = e^{-o(n)}, and that, when qn=0q_n=0, the number of jumps to stabilization undergoes a phase transition at density pp.
