Tightness for the interfaces of one-dimensional voter models

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that for the voter model on {0,1}Z\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}} corresponding to a random walk with kernel p()p(\cdot) and starting from unanimity to the right and opposing unanimity to the left, a tight interface between 0's and 1's exists if p()p(\cdot) has finite second moment but does not if p()p(\cdot) fails to have finite moment of order α\alpha for some α<2\alpha <2.
