Hydrodynamics of the generalized $N$-urn Ehrenfest model

In this paper we are concerned with a generalized $N$-urn Ehrenfest model, where balls keeps independent random walks between $N$ boxes uniformly laid on $[0, 1]$. After a proper scaling of the transition rates function of the aforesaid random walk, we derive the hydrodynamic limit of the model, i.e., the law of large numbers which the empirical measure of the model follows, under an assumption where the initial number of balls in each box independently follows a Poisson distribution. We show that the empirical measure of the model converges weakly to a deterministic measure with density driven by an integral equation. Furthermore, we derive non-equilibrium fluctuation of the model, i.e, the central limit theorem from the above hydrodynamic limit. We show that the non-equilibrium fluctuation of the model is driven by a measure-valued time-inhomogeneous generalized O-U process. At last, we prove a large deviation principle from the hydrodynamic limit under an assumption where the transition rates function from $[0, 1]times [0, 1]$ to $[0, +infty)$ of the aforesaid random walk is a product of two marginal functions from $[0, 1]$ to $[0, +infty)$.
