Exact time dependence of the cumulants of a tracer position in a dense lattice gas

Abstract

We develop a general method to calculate the exact time dependence of the cumulants of the position of a tracer particle in a dense lattice gas of hardcore particles. More precisely, we calculate the cumulant generating function associated with the position of a tagged particle at arbitrary time, and at leading order in the density of vacancies on the lattice. In particular, our approach gives access to the short-time dynamics of the cumulants of the tracer position -- a regime in which few results are known. The generality of our approach is demonstrated by showing that it goes beyond the case of a symmetric 1D random walk, and covers the important situations of (i) a biased tracer; (ii) comb-like structures; and (iii) $d$-dimensional situations.
