Abstract

We study a system of interacting diffusions. The variables present the amount of charge at various sites of a periodic multidimensional lattice. The equilibrium states of the diffusion are canonical Gibbs measures of a given finite range interaction. Under an appropriate scaling of lattice spacing and time, we derive the hydrodynamic limit for the evolution of the macroscopic charge density.
