Emerging universality classes in thermally assisted activation of interacting diffusive systems: A perturbative hydrodynamic approach

Thermal activation of a particle from a deep potential trap follows the Arrhenius law. Recently, this result has been generalized for interacting diffusive particles in the trap, revealing two universality classes—the Arrhenius class and the excluded volume class. The result was demonstrated with th...

Description
Summary:Thermal activation of a particle from a deep potential trap follows the Arrhenius law. Recently, this result has been generalized for interacting diffusive particles in the trap, revealing two universality classes—the Arrhenius class and the excluded volume class. The result was demonstrated with the aid of numerical analysis. Here, we present a perturbative hydrodynamic approach to analytically validate the existence and range of validity for the two universality classes.
