Abstract
We consider a directed Abelian sandpile on a strip of size , driven by adding a grain randomly at the left boundary after every timesteps. We establish the exact equivalence of the problem of mass fluctuations in the steady state and the number of zeros in the ternary-base representation of the position of a random walker on a ring of size . We find that while the fluctuations of mass have a power spectrum that varies as for frequencies in the range , the activity fluctuations in the same frequency range have a power spectrum that is linear in .
