Universal Airy-one particle-position scaling conjecture for exclusion processes

Let ηt\eta_t be a Markov process with generator specified by the paper, with particle positions satisfying Xn(0)=n/ρX_n(0)=-\lfloor n/\rho\rfloor for ρ(0,1)\rho\in(0,1). Let μρ\mu_\rho be an invariant measure satisfying the paper's Assumption~, and let J(ρ)J(\rho), Γ(ρ)\Gamma(\rho) and A(ρ)A(\rho) be the associated current and KPZ scaling parameters. Define

θ(ρ)=c1Γ(ρ)2/3A(ρ)1ρ.\theta(\rho)=c_1\Gamma(\rho)^{2/3}A(\rho)^{-1}\rho.

Universal Airy-one scaling conjecture. There exist universal constants c1c_1 and c2c_2 such that

limtXuθ(ρ)t2/3(t)+uθ(ρ)t2/3/ρJ(ρ)t/ρ(c2Γ(ρ)t)1/3/ρ=A1(u).\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{X_{u\theta(\rho)t^{2/3}}(t)+u\theta(\rho)t^{2/3}/\rho-J(\rho)t/\rho}{-(c_2\Gamma(\rho)t)^{1/3}/\rho}={\cal A}_1(u).

This predicts the Airy-one process as the universal limit of the rescaled particle-position process in the flat-density setting. The source presents it as a universality prediction under the stated invariant-measure assumption, with no general proof claimed.
