Replacement lemma, two block estimates, Convergence of the fluctuation field in equilibrium
the Boltzmann-Gibbs principle, Entropy productio, Convergence of the fluctuation field to a
critical reaction-diffusion model.

Keywords

Interacting particle systems, hydrodynamic limits, entropy methods,
Boltzmann-Gibbs principle, SPDEs
