Description

We give bounds on the rate of convergence to equilibrium of the symmetric simple exclusion process in $\Z^d$. Our results include the existent results in the literature. We get better bounds and larger class of initial states via a unified approach. The method includes a comparison of the evolution of n interacting particles with n independent ones along the whole time trajectory.
