Abstract

In this thesis we study the Symmetric Exclusion Process (SEP) and the Discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) on compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we obtain the hydrodynamic limit and the equilibrium fluctuations of SEP and we show that the DGFF converges to its continuous counterpart. To define these discrete models, we construct grids with edge weights that approximate the underlying manifold in a suitable way. Additionally, we study a model of an active particle and the role of reversibility for its limiting diffusion coeffcient and large deviations rate function.
