Abstract

We consider the M→0 limit for tagged particle diffusion in a 1-dimensional Rayleigh-gas, studied originaly by Sinai and Soloveichik [Ya. G. Sinai, M. R. Soloveichik, Commun. Math. Phys. 104:423–443 (1986)], and by Szász and Tóth [D. Szász, B. Tóth, Commun. Math. Phys. 104:445–457 (1986)], respectively. In this limit we derive a new type of model for tagged particle diffusion, for which the two central particles, in addition to elastic collisions with the rest of the gas, interact with Calogero-Moser-Sutherland (i.e. inverse quadratic) potential. Computer simulations on this new model reproduce exactly the numerical value of the limiting variance obtained by Boldrighini, Frigio and Tognetti in [C. Boldrighini, S. Frigio, D. Tognetti, J. Stat. Phys. 108:703–712 (2002)].
