Collisions in the simple symmetric exclusion processBC1 2.01.10 (8101.02.110) (Parkring 11, 85748 Garching-Hochbrück)

We revisit the classic simple symmetric exclusion process, which has the same hydrodynamic limit as a system of independent random walkers. Our aim is to provide a deeper understanding why the exclusion mechanism does not influence the hydrodynamic limit. We do this by interpreting each time the exclusion mechanism is invoked as a collision between particles, then keep track of the number of collisions in the system and pass to the hydrodynamic limit. In fact we study four of such variables under different scaling regimes and obtain a zoo of hydrodynamic limits - some deterministic and some stochastic.
