Q- Discreteness / microscopic fluctuations were known to • influence the approach to the equilibrium state (e.g. Fisher waves; annihilation) • Make perturbative corrections the value of a phase transition point. • Doi, Janssen, Grassberger, Peliti, Zeldovich, Michailov, Cardy, Mattis and Glasser etc etc • SO What is the novelty? • A- Here the very character of the final state is totally changed (for all values)- Discreteness makes the difference between life and death.

For Experts(usually they can ask, but in such a big room I have to anticipate their thoughts): Don’t look for cheap escapes: Once a continuous a(x,t) is accepted, the death sentence for la 0 – m< 0is unavoidable Q- slow a(x,t) a0convergence: A- it is enough a(x,t) < m/ l to have decay at all x Q- non-linear features in PDE b. = (al- m)b + Db D bA-the equation is linear in b Q -instability of the homogenousb(x,t)= b(0,t) solution: A- The solution is stable for la 0 – m< 0
