Abstract
This thesis studies the problem of deriving fluctuations of hydrodynamic limits for general time-dependent microscopic systems. To this end, we develop a derivation of the Boltzmann-Gibbs principle depending only on the dynamics of the system at hand. This provides an answer to conjectures of Spohn and Jensen-Yau. As an application of the method, we derive the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation as a continuum limit of the current fluctuations in some non-integrable and non-stationary asymmetric exclusion processes.
