Abstract

For the symmetric simple exclusion process on an infinite line, we calculate exactly the fluctuations of the integrated current during time through the origin when, in the initial condition, the sites are occupied with density on the negative axis and with density on the positive axis. All the cumulants of grow like . In the range where , the decay of the distribution of is non-Gaussian. Our results are obtained using the Bethe ansatz and several identities recently derived by Tracy and Widom for exclusion processes on the infinite line.
