One-dimensional asymmetric diffusion model without exclusion
Tomohiro Sasamoto, Miki Wadati
Abstract
A one-dimensional asymmetric diffusion model on a periodic chain is proposed. The model is defined in terms of the master equation. In contrast with the asymmetric simple exclusion process, particles are not subject to the exclusion interaction: each lattice site can accommodate more than one particle. The model is solved by the Bethe ansatz method and the resulting Bethe equation is analyzed in the thermodynamic limit. The finite size correction of the energy gap is calculated to be ${O(L}^{\ensuremath{-}3/2}),$ where L denotes the length of the chain.
