Canonical Local Equilibrium and Cutoff Profiles for the Symmetric Exclusion Process on Discrete Tori

We prove a canonical (or fixed-population) local equilibrium theorem for the symmetric simple exclusion process on the discrete torus $\mathbb T_N^D$, $D\ge2$, at particle densities bounded away from $0$ and $1$, uniformly over all deterministic initial configurations with the prescribed particle number. At times \[ t_...
