Dynamics of a tagged particle in the asymmetric exclusion process with the step initial condition
نویسنده
چکیده
The one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) is considered. We study the time evolution property of a tagged particle in the TASEP with the step initial condition. Calculated is the multi-time joint distribution function of its position. Using the relation of the dynamics of the TASEP to the Schur process, we show that the function is represented as the Fredholm determinant. We also study the scaling limit. The universality of the largest eigenvalue in the random matrix theory is realized in the limit. When the hopping rates of all particles are the same, it is found that the joint distribution function converges to that of the Airy process after the time at which the particle begins to move. On the other hand, when there are several particles with small hopping rate in front of a tagged particle, the limiting process changes at a certain time from the Airy process to the process of the largest eigenvalue in the Hermitian multi-matrix model with external sources.

Dynamics of a Tagged Particle in the Asymmetric Exclusion Process with Particlewise Disorder
We consider the one-dimensional totally asymmetric asymmetric simple exclusion process. We particularly concentrate on the case where each hopping rate depends on each particle. In the step initial condition, where all sites from the left of some site are occupied and all other sites are empty, we discuss a dynamics of a particular particle (tagged particle). We show that the position fluctuati...

متن کاملExact relaxation dynamics in the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process.
The relaxation dynamics of the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring is considered in the case of step initial condition. Analyzing the time evolution of the local particle densities and currents by the Bethe ansatz method, we examine their full relaxation dynamics. As a result, we observe peculiar behaviors, such as the emergence of a ripple in the density profi...
متن کاملTASEP on a ring in sub-relaxation time scale
Interacting particle systems in the KPZ universality class on a ring of size L with O(L) number of particles are expected to change from KPZ dynamics to equilibrium dynamics at the so-called relaxation time scale t = O(L). In particular the system size is expected to have little effect to the particle fluctuations in the sub-relaxation time scale 1 t L. We prove that this is indeed the case for...
متن کاملOn asymmetric simple exclusion process with periodic step Bernoulli initial condition
We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the integers in which the initial density at a site (the probability that it is occupied) is given by a periodic function on the positive integers. (When the function is constant, this is the step Bernoulli initial condition.) Starting with a result in earlier work, we find a formula for the probability distribution for a given parti...
