Logarithmically corrected Edwards–Wilkinson scaling for the directed exclusion process

Let (Ytε)t0({\mathcal Y}_t^\varepsilon)_{t\ge 0} be the fluctuation field of the directed exclusion process, with sε(t)s_\varepsilon(t) determined by

t=ε2sε(t)log(sε(t))1/2.t=\varepsilon^{2}s_\varepsilon(t)\log(s_\varepsilon(t))^{1/2}.

The field

Ytε(f)=ε1/2xZf(εxεsε(t))(ηsε(t)(x)12){\mathcal Y}_t^\varepsilon(f)=\varepsilon^{1/2}\sum_{x\in\mathbb Z}f(\varepsilon x-\varepsilon s_\varepsilon(t))\left(\eta_{s_\varepsilon(t)}(x)-\frac12\right)

for test functions f:RRf:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R and t0t\ge 0 should converge, in the appropriate distributional space, to the infinite-dimensional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process described by the Edwards–Wilkinson equation. The marginally relevant nonlinear term is expected to leave the limiting field unchanged while introducing the logarithmic correction to the time scaling; for fixed t>0t>0, this gives sε(t)tε2logε1/2s_\varepsilon(t)\sim t\varepsilon^{-2}|\log\varepsilon|^{-1/2} as ε0\varepsilon\to0.
