Generalized matrix Ansatz in the multispecies exclusion process—the partially asymmetric case

Abstract

We investigate one of the simplest multispecies generalizations of the asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring. This process has a rich combinatorial spectral structure and a matrix product form for the stationary state. In the totally asymmetric case, operators that conjugate the dynamics of systems with different numbers of species were obtained by the authors and recently reported by Arita et al (2011 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 335004). The existence of such nontrivial operators was reformulated as a representation problem for a specific quadratic algebra (generalized matrix Ansatz). In this work, we construct the family of representations explicitly for the partially asymmetric case. This solution cannot be obtained by a simple deformation of the totally asymmetric case.

The matrix product solution of the multispecies partially asymmetric exclusion process

Sylvain Prolhac, M. R. Evans, Kirone Mallick

We find the exact solution for the stationary state measure of the partially asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with multiple species of particles. The solution is in the form of a matrix product representation where the matrices for a system of N species are defined recursively in terms of the matrices for a system of N − 1 species. A complete proof is given, based on the quadratic relations verified by these matrices. This matrix product construction is interpreted in terms of the action of a transfer matrix.

Recursive structures in the multispecies TASEP

Chikashi Arita, Arvind Ayyer, Kirone Mallick +1 more

We consider a multispecies generalization of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with the simple hopping rule: for the α and βth-class particles (α < β), the transition αβ → βα occurs with a rate independent from the values α and β. Ferrari and Martin (2007 Ann. Prob. 35 807) obtained the stationary state of this model thanks to a combinatorial algorithm, which was subsequently interpreted as a matrix product representation by Evans et al (2009 J. Stat. Phys. 135 217). This 'matrix ansatz' shows that the stationary state of the multispecies TASEP with N classes of particles ( N -TASEP) can be constructed algebraically by the action of an operator on the ( N − 1)-TASEP stationary state. Besides, Arita et al ( 2009 J. Phys. A. Math Theor. 45 345002 ) analyzed the spectral structure of the Markov matrix: they showed that the set of eigenvalues of the N -TASEP contains those of the ( N − 1)-TASEP and that the various spectral inclusions can be encoded in a hierarchical set-theoretic structure known as the Hasse diagram. Inspired by these works, we define nontrivial operators that allow us to construct eigenvectors of the N -TASEP by lifting the eigenvectors of the ( N − 1)-TASEP. This goal is achieved by generalizing the matrix product representation and the Ferrari–Martin algorithm. In particular, we show that the matrix ansatz is not only a convenient tool to write the stationary state but in fact intertwines Markov matrices of different values of N .

Matrix-product ansatz for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with a generalized update on a ring

Boyka Aneva, J.G. Brankov

We apply the matrix-product ansatz to study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring with a generalized discrete-time dynamics depending on two hopping probabilities, $p$ and $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}$. The model contains as special cases the TASEP with parallel update, when $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}=0$, and with sequential backward-ordered update, when $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}=p$. We construct a quadratic algebra and its two-dimensional matrix-product representation to obtain exact finite-size expressions for the partition function, the current of particles, and the two-point correlation function. Our main new result is the derivation of the finite-size pair correlation function. Its behavior is analyzed in different regimes of effective attraction and repulsion between the particles, depending on whether $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}>p$ or $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}<p$. In particular, we explicitly obtain an analytic expression for the pair correlation function in the limit of irreversible aggregation $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1$, when the stationary configurations contain just one cluster.

One-dimensional partially asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries: orthogonal polynomials approach

Tomohiro Sasamoto

The stationary state of the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries is reconsidered. The so-called matrix product ansatz is employed. This enables us to construct the stationary state in the form of the product of the matrices D and E . Noticing the fact that the matrix C ( = D + E ) for the model is related to certain q -orthogonal polynomials, the model is analysed for a wide range of parameters. The current and the correlation length are evaluated in the thermodynamic limit. It turns out that the phase diagram for the correlation length is richer than that for the totally asymmetric case.

Derivation of a matrix product representation for the asymmetric exclusion process from the algebraic Bethe ansatz

O. Golinelli, Kirone Mallick

We derive, using the algebraic Bethe ansatz, a generalized matrix product ansatz for the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) on a one-dimensional periodic lattice. In this matrix product ansatz, the components of the eigenvectors of the ASEP Markov matrix can be expressed as traces of products of non-commuting operators. We derive the relations between the operators involved and show that they generate a quadratic algebra. Our construction provides explicit finite-dimensional representations for the generators of this algebra.

Multi-species asymmetric exclusion process in ordered sequential update

M. Ebrahim Fouladvand, Farhad H Jafarpour

A multi-species generalization of the asymmetric simple exclusion process is studied with ordered sequential and sub-lattice parallel updating schemes. In this model, particles hop with their own specific probabilities to their rightmost empty site and fast particles overtake slow ones with a definite probability. Using the matrix product ansatz technique, we obtain the relevant algebra and study the uncorrelated stationary state of the model both for an open system and on a ring. A complete comparison between the physical results in these updates and those of random sequential introduced in Karimipour V 1999 A multi-species ASEP and its relation to traffic flow Phys. Rev. E 59 205 and Karimipour V 1998 A multi-species ASEP, steady state and correlation functions on a periodic lattice Preprint cond-mat/9809193, is made.
