We consider the time average of the (renormalized) current fluctuation field in one-dimensional weakly asymmetric simple exclusion.
The asymmetry is chosen to be weak enough such that the density fluctuation field still converges in law with respect to diffusive scaling. Remark that the density fluctuation field would evolve on a slower time scale if the asymmetry is too strong and that then the current fluctuations would have something to do with the Tracy-Widom distribution. However, the asymmetry is also chosen to be strong enough such that the density fluctuation field does not converge in law to an infinite-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, that is something non-trivial is happening.
We will, at first, motivate why studying the time average of the current fluctuation field helps to understand the structure of this non-trivial scaling limit of the density fluctuation field and, second, show how one can replace the current fluctuation field by a certain functional of the density fluctuation field under the time average. The latter result provides further evidence for the common belief that the scaling limit of the density fluctuation field approximates the solution of a Burgers-type equation
