Short stories 2 - Milky White

What do our Oxford Mathematics students do in their spare time?

Well, much the same as everyone else. Music, gym, bit of yoga, organising events, impersonating farmyard animals.

Tonbridge School Graduate Teachers 2026

Tonbridge School is looking to recruit a number of Graduate Teachers to start at the school in September 2026. Details about the role, the school, and the market-leading package can be found in the attached job advert.

We are hosting an in-person event on Monday 26th January at The King’s Arms from 19:00-21:00 for anyone interested in chatting to current staff about the role.

Scaling limit of a weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process in the framework of regularity structures

Prof. Hendrik Weber
(University of Münster)
Abstract
We prove that a parabolically rescaled and suitably renormalised height function of a weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process on a circle converges to the Cole-Hopf solution of the KPZ equation. This is an analogue of the celebrated result by Bertini and Giacomin from 1997 for the exclusion process on a circle with any particles density. The main goal of this article is to analyse the interacting particle system using the framework of regularity structures without applying the Gärtner transformation, a discrete version of the Cole-Hopf transformation which linearises the KPZ equation. 
 
Our analysis relies on discretisation framework for regularity structures developed by Erhard and Hairer [AIHP 2019] as well as estimates for iterated integrals with respect to jump martingales derived by Grazieschi, Matetski and Weber [PTRF 2025]. The main technical challenge addressed in this work is the renormalisation procedure which requires a subtle analysis of regularity preserving discrete convolution operators.
