Spectrum of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a periodic lattice—bulk eigenvalues

Abstract

We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on a periodic one-dimensional lattice of L sites. Using Bethe ansatz, we derive parametric formulas for the eigenvalues of its generator in the thermodynamic limit. This allows to study the curve delimiting the edge of the spectrum in the complex plane. A functional integration over the eigenstates leads to an expression for the density of eigenvalues in the bulk of the spectrum. The density vanishes with an exponent 2/5 close to the eigenvalue 0.

Spectrum of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a periodic lattice-first excited states

Sylvain Prolhac

We consider the spectrum of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a periodic lattice of L sites. The first eigenstates have an eigenvalue with real part scaling as for large L with finite density of particles. Bethe ansatz shows that these eigenstates are characterized by four finite sets of positive half-integers, or equivalently by two integer partitions. Each corresponding eigenvalue is found to be equal to the value at its saddle point of a function indexed by the four sets. Our derivation of the large L asymptotics relies on a version of the Euler–Maclaurin formula with square root singularities at both ends of the summation range.

Finite-Time Fluctuations for the Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process

Sylvain Prolhac

The one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, a Markov process describing classical hard-core particles hopping in the same direction, is considered on a periodic lattice of L sites. The relaxation to the nonequilibrium steady state, which occurs on the time scale t∼L^{3/2} for large L, is studied for the half-filled system with N=L/2 particles. Using large L asymptotics of Bethe ansatz formulas for the eigenstates, exact expressions depending explicitly on the rescaled time t/L^{3/2} are obtained for the average and two-point function of the local density, and for the current fluctuations for simple (stationary, flat and step) initial conditions, relating previous results for the infinite system to stationary large deviations. The final formulas have a nice interpretation in terms of a functional integral with the action of a scalar field in a linear potential.

Spectral gap of the totally asymmetric exclusion process at arbitrary filling

O. Golinelli, Kirone Mallick

We calculate the spectral gap of the Markov matrix of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on a ring of L sites with N particles. Our derivation is simple and self-contained and extends a previous calculation that was valid only for half-filling. We use a special property of the Bethe equations for TASEP to reformulate them as a one-body problem. Our method is closely related to the one used to derive exact large deviation functions of the TASEP.

Extrapolation methods and Bethe ansatz for the asymmetric exclusion process

Sylvain Prolhac

Abstract The one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP), where N hard-core particles hop forward with rate 1 and backward with rate q < 1 , is considered on a periodic lattice of L site. Using KPZ universality and previous results for the totally asymmetric model q = 0 , precise conjectures are formulated for asymptotics at finite density ρ = N / L of ASEP eigenstates close to the stationary state. The conjectures are checked with high precision using extrapolation methods on finite size Bethe ansatz numerics. For weak asymmetry 1 − q ∼ 1 / L , double extrapolation combined with an integer relation algorithm gives an exact expression for the spectral gap up to 10th order in the asymmetry.

Equivalent T-Q relations and exact results for the open TASEP

Nicolas Crampé, Rafael I. Nepomechie

Abstract Starting from the Bethe ansatz solution for the open totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP), we compute the largest eigenvalue of the deformed Markovian matrix, in exact agreement with results obtained by the matrix ansatz. We also compute the eigenvalues of the higher conserved charges. The key step is to find a simpler equivalent T-Q relation, which is similar to the one for the TASEP with periodic boundary conditions.

Spectrum of the Open Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process with Arbitrary Boundary Parameters

Fa-Kai Wen, Zhan-Ying Yang, Shuai Cui +2 more

We study the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with generic open boundaries (including current-counting deformation), and obtain the exact solutions of this ASEP via the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method. In particular, numerical results for the small size asymmetric simple exclusion process indicate that the spectrum obtained by the Bethe ansatz equations is complete. Moreover, we present the eigenvalue of the totally asymmetric exclusion process and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations.
