چکیده

Imagine that the particles in the system are each called either first class or second class. The evolution is the same as before, except that if a second-class particle attempts to go to a site occupied by a first-class particle, it is not allowed to do so, while if a first-class particle attempts to move to a site occupied by a second-class particle, the two particles exchange positions. In other words, a first-class particle has priority over a second-class particle. This rule has no effect on whether or not a given site is occupied at a given time. The advantage, though, is that viewed by itself, the collection of first-class particles is Markovian, and has the same law as the exclusion process. The collection of second-class particles is clearly not Markovian. However, the collection of firstand second-class particles is Markovian, and again evolves like an exclusion process.

Fluctuation bounds for the asymmetric simple exclusion process

We give a partly new proof of the fluctuation bounds for the second class particle and current in the stationary asymmetric simple exclusion process. One novelty is a coupling that preserves the ordering of second class particles in two systems that are themselves ordered coordinatewise.

Crossing Probabilities in Asymmetric Exclusion Processes

We consider the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process in which particles jump to the right at rate p and to the left at rate 1 − p, interacting by exclusion. Suppose that the initial state has first-class particles to the left of the origin, a second class particle at the origin, a third class particle at site 1 and holes to the right of site 1. We show that the probability that t...

Competition Interfaces and Second Class Particles

The one-dimensional nearest neighbor totally asymmetric simple exclusion process can be constructed in the same space as a last-passage percolation model in Z. We show that the trajectory of a second class particle in the exclusion process can be linearly mapped into the competition interface between two growing clusters in the last-passage percolation model. Using technology built up for geode...

Order of current variance and diffusivity in the asymmetric simple exclusion process

We prove that the variance of the current across a characteristic is of order t in a stationary asymmetric simple exclusion process, and that the diffusivity has order t. The proof proceeds via couplings to show the corresponding moment bounds for a second class particle.
