Shock fluctuations for the Hammersley process

Probability 2017-02-01 v2

Abstract

We consider the Hammersley interacting particle system starting from a shock initial profile with densities λ,ρR\lambda,\rho\in\mathbb{R} (λ>ρ\lambda > \rho). The microscopic shock is taken as the position of a second-class particle initially at the origin, and the main results are: a central limit theorem for the shock; the variance of the shock equals 2[λρ(λρ)]1t+O(t2/3)2[\lambda\rho(\lambda - \rho)]^{-1}t + O(t^{2/3}). By using the same method of proof, we also prove similar results for first-class particles.
