On the distribution of a second-class particle in the asymmetric simple exclusion process
نویسندگان
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.
متن کاملCrossing 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...
متن کاملCompetition 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...

متن کاملOrder 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.
