Exclusion processes and quantum phase transitions in XXZ spin chains.

In this note we relate the Hamiltonian of the integrable non-compact spin $s$ XXZ chain to the Markov generator of a stochastic particle process. The hopping rates of the continuous-time process are identified with the ones of a q-Hahn asymmetric zero range model. The main difference with the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP), which can be mapped to the ordinary XXZ spin chain, is that multiple particles can occupy one and the same site. For the non-compact spin $\\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ chain the associated stochastic process reduces to the multiparticle asymmetric diffusion model introduced by Sasamoto-Wadati.In this note we relate the Hamiltonian of the integrable non-compact spin $s$ XXZ chain to the Markov generator of a stochastic particle process.
