Convergence results and sharp estimates for the voter model interfaces. (English)
[J] Electron. J. Probab. 11, Paper No. 30, 768-801, electronic only (2006). ISSN 1083-6489/e

Summary: We study the evolution of the interface for the one-dimensional voter model. We show that if the random walk kernel associated with the voter model has finite $\lambda$th moment for some $\lambda>3$, then the evolution of the interface boundaries converge weakly to a Brownian motion under diffusive scaling. This extends recent work of {\it C. M. Newman, K. Ravishankar} and {\it R. Sun} [Electron. J. Probab. 10, Paper No. 2, 21--60 (2005; Zbl 1067.60099)]. Our result is optimal in the sense that finite $\lambda$th moment is necessary for this convergence for all $\lambda\in (0,3)$. We also obtain relatively sharp estimates for the tail distribution of the size of the equilibrium interface, extending earlier results of {\it J. T. Cox} and {\it R. Durrett} [Bernoulli 1, No.~4, 343--370 (1995; Zbl 0849.60088)] and {\it S. Belhaouari, T. Mountford} and {\it G. Valle} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 94, No.~2, 421--442 (2007; Zbl 1112.60074)].
