Sharp asymptotics for $N$-point correlation functions of coalescing heavy-tailed random walk

Abstract

We study a system of coalescing continuous-time random walks starting from every site on $\mathbb{Z}$, where the jump increments lie in the domain of attraction of an $\hat{I}\pm$-stable distribution with $\hat{I}\pm \in (0,1]$. We establish sharp asymptotics for the $N$-point correlation function of the system. Our analysis relies on two precise tail estimates for the system density, as well as the non-collision probability of $N$ independent random walks with arbitrary fixed initial configurations. In addition, we derive refined estimates for heavy-tailed random walks, which may be of independent interest.
