The Einstein relation for the KPZ equation

Abstract

We compute the non-universal constants in the KPZ equation in one dimension, in terms of the thermodynamical quantities associated to the underlying microscopic dynamics. In particular, we derive the second-order Einstein relation λ=12d2dρ2χ(ρ)D(ρ)\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\frac{d^2}{d\rho^2} \chi(\rho) D(\rho) for the transport coefficient λ\lambda of the KPZ equation, in terms of the conserved quantity ρ\rho, the diffusion coefficient DD and the static compressibility of the system χ\chi.
