Abstract:
In this talk we consider the following model. Given are a simple random walk and independently of it a simple symmetric exclusion process. Whenever the random walker is on top of an exclusion particle it gets killed at rate ε. We consider the regime in which time gets appropriately rescaled with ε and prove asymptotics for the survival probability of the walk. This is joint work in progress with Martin Hairer.
