Hitting times of rare events in boundary driven symmetric simple
exclusion processes    [PDF]

O. Benois, C. Landim, M. Mourragui

In the boundary driven symmetric simple exclusion process consider an open set $\ms O$ of density profiles which does not contain the stationary density profile. We prove that the first time the empirical measure visits the set $\ms O$ converges to an exponential distribution.
