Description of the Potential

The strength of this formula comes from the fact that the capacity has an alternative representation through the Dirichlet variational principle see e.g. [11], capA, D = inf h ∈H Φh, 2.7 where H = n h ∈ W 1,2 R N , e −F γ,N uǫ du | ∀z , hz ∈ [0, 1] , h |A = 1 , h |D = 0 o , 2.8 and the Dirichlet form Φ is given, for h ∈ H , as Φh = ǫ Z A∪D c e −F γ,N uǫ k∇huk 2 2 du. 2.9 Remark. Formula 2.6 gives an average of the mean transition time with respect to the equilibrium measure, that we will extensively use in what follows. A way to obtain the quantity E z [τ D ] consists in using Hölder and Harnack estimates [12] as developed in Corollary 2.3[5], but it is far from obvious whether this can be extended to give estimates that are uniform in N . Formula 2.6 highlights the two terms for which we will prove uniform estimates: the capacity Proposition 4.3 and the mass of h A,D Proposition 4.9.

2.2 Description of the Potential

Let us describe in detail the potential F γ,N , its stationary points, and in particular the minima and the 1-saddle points, through which the transitions occur. The coupling strength γ specifies the geometry of F γ,N . For instance, if we set γ = 0, we get a set of N bistable independent particles, thus the stationary points are x ∗ = ξ 1 , . . . , ξ N ∀i ∈ ¹1, Nº, ξ i ∈ {−1, 0, 1}. 2.10 To characterize their stability, we have to look to their Hessian matrix whose signs of the eigenvalues give us the index saddle of the point. It can be easily shown that, for γ = 0, the minima are those of the form 2.10 with no zero coordinates and the 1-saddle points have just one zero coordinate. As γ increases, the structure of the potential evolves and the number of stationary points decreases from 3 N to 3. We notice that, for all γ, the points I ± = ±1, 1, · · · , 1 O = 0, 0, · · · , 0 2.11 are stationary, furthermore I ± are minima. If we calculate the Hessian at the point O, we have ∇ 2 F γ,N O =             −1 + γ − γ 2 · · · − γ 2 − γ 2 −1 + γ − γ 2 − γ 2 ... ... .. . .. . ... ... ... ... ... − γ 2 − γ 2 · · · − γ 2 −1 + γ             , 2.12 326 whose eigenvalues are, for all γ 0 and for 0 ≤ k ≤ N − 1, λ k,N = − 1 − 2γ sin 2 k π N . 2.13 Set, for k ≥ 1, γ N k = 1 2 sin 2 kπN . Then these eigenvalues can be written in the form    λ k,N = λ N −k,N = −1 + γ γ N k , 1 ≤ k ≤ N − 1 λ 0,N = λ = −1. 2.14 Note that γ N k ⌊N2⌋ k=1 is a decreasing sequence, and so as γ increases, the number of non-positive eigenvalues λ k,N N −1 k=0 decreases. When γ γ N 1 , the only negative eigenvalue is −1. Thus γ N 1 = 1 2 sin 2 πN 2.15 is the threshold of the synchronization regime. Lemma 2.1 Synchronization Regime. If γ γ N 1 , the only stationary points of F γ,N are I ± and O. I ± are minima, O is a 1-saddle. This lemma was proven in [2] by using a Lyapunov function. This configuration is called the syn- chronization regime because the coupling between the particles is so strong that they all pass si- multaneously through their respective saddle points in a transition between the stable equilibria I ± . In this paper, we will focus on this regime.
