Abstract
An unbounded one-dimensional solid-on-solid model with integer heights is studied. Unbounded here means that there is no a priori restrictions on the discrete gradient of the interface. The interaction Hamiltonian of the interface is given by a finite range part, proportional to the sum of height differences, plus a part of exponentially decaying long range potentials. The evolution of the interface is a reversible Markov process. We prove that if this system is started in the center of a box of size L after a time of order L^3 it reaches, with a very large probability, the top or the bottom of the box.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
