Abstract: We analyze the equilibrium fluctuations of density, current and tagged particle in symmetric exclusion with a slow bond. The system evolves in the one-dimensional lattice and the jump rate is everywhere equal to one except at the slow bond where it is αn−β, with α>0, β∈[0,+∞] and n is the scaling parameter. Depending on the regime of β, we find three different behaviors for the limiting fluctuations whose covariances are explicitly computed. In particular, for the critical value β=1, starting a tagged particle near the slow bond, we obtain a family of Gaussian processes indexed in α, interpolating a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst exponent 1/4 and the degenerate process equal to zero.
