Current fluctuations in an interacting active lattice gas

Abstract

We study the fluctuations of the integrated density current across the origin up to time $T$ in a lattice model of active particles with hard-core interactions. This model is amenable to an exact description within a fluctuating hydrodynamics framework. We focus on quenched initial conditions for both the density and magnetization fields and derive expressions for the cumulants of the density current, which can be matched with direct numerical simulations of the microscopic lattice model. For the case of uniform initial profiles, we show that the second cumulant of the integrated current displays three regimes: an initial $\sqrt{T}$ rise with a coefficient given by the symmetric simple exclusion process, a cross-over regime where the effects of activity increase the fluctuations, and a large time $\sqrt{T}$ behavior with a prefactor which depends on the initial conditions, the Péclet number and the mean density of particles. Additionally, we study the limit of zero diffusion where the fluctuations intriguingly exhibit a $T^2$ behavior at short times. However, at large times, the fluctuations still grow as $\sqrt{T}$, with a coefficient that can be calculated explicitly. For low densities, we show that this coefficient can be expressed in terms of the effective diffusion constant $D_{\text{eff}}$ for non-interacting active particles.
