Super-Hydrodynamic Limit in Interacting Particle Systems

This paper is a follow-up of the work initiated in [3], where it has been investigated the
hydrodynamic limit of symmetric independent random walkers with birth at the origin
and death at the rightmost occupied site. Here we obtain two further results: first we
characterize the stationary states on the hydrodynamic time scale and show that they
are given by a family of linear macroscopic profiles whose parameters are determined by
the current reservoirs and the system mass. Then we prove the existence of a superhyrdrodynamic
time scale, beyond the hydrodynamic one. On this larger time scale
the system mass fluctuates and correspondingly the macroscopic profile of the system
randomly moves within the family of linear profiles, with the randomness of a Brownian
motion.
