Hyperuniformity crossover conjecture for the facilitated exclusion process

Let d2d\ge 2 and consider the facilitated exclusion process (FEP), with critical density ρc\rho_c and stationary measure νρ\nu_\rho. Write δ=ρcρ>0\delta=\rho_c-\rho>0, and let Vρ(L)V_\rho(L) denote the variance of the number of particles in a box of side LL. A measure is hyperuniform when its number variance grows more slowly than LdL^d. For ρ\rho below but close to ρc\rho_c, let λ1\lambda_1 be the critical hyperuniformity exponent and let L1(δ)L_1(\delta) and L2(δ)L_2(\delta) be crossover scales. Hyperuniformity crossover conjecture. For the FEP with d2d\ge 2, a critical density ρc\rho_c exists and νρc\nu_{\rho_c} is hyperuniform. For L1L\gg 1 in the small-LL regime, Vρ(L)C1Lλ1V_\rho(L)\simeq C_1L^{\lambda_1}. In an intermediate-LL regime, Vρ(L)C2(δ)Lλ2V_\rho(L)\simeq C_2(\delta)L^{\lambda_2}, where λ2>d>λ1\lambda_2>d>\lambda_1 and C2(δ)>0C_2(\delta)>0. Above the approximate scale L2(δ)L_2(\delta), Vρ(L)ρ(1ρ)LdV_\rho(L)\simeq \rho(1-\rho)L^d. As ρρc\rho\nearrow\rho_c, the crossover scales satisfy

Li(δ)δγi,i=1,2,L_i(\delta)\sim \delta^{-\gamma_i},\qquad i=1,2,

for exponents satisfying γ2>γ1>0\gamma_2>\gamma_1>0. The conjecture describes the crossover from critical hyperuniform fluctuations to an intermediate super-volume variance regime and finally to normal fluctuations of the initial Bernoulli measure; the one-dimensional analogue is stated to be proved elsewhere in the paper.
